Bard 8552-059 Capacitor
The Bard 8552-059 Capacitor is a high-performance dual run capacitor engineered specifically for Bard wall-mounted HVAC units. Delivering a dual rating of 60/10 MFD at 370V, this component provides the essential phase shift required for the simultaneous operation of the compressor and fan motor. Designed for reliability in demanding environments, it features a round aluminum case that facilitates superior heat dissipation compared to standard oval alternatives. As an OEM replacement part, it ensures precise electrical tolerances, effectively eliminating issues like hard starting, motor humming, or intermittent system cycling. This 60/10 MFD 370V capacitor is built to meet EIA-456-A standards, providing long-term stability for critical 48,000 to 60,000 BTU cooling systems. Technicians should verify the microfarad rating and physical dimensions before installation to ensure a secure fit within the original mounting strap.
Key Benefits- Dual-Purpose Design: Drives both the high-torque compressor and the condenser fan motor from a single round dual run capacitor.
- OEM Compatibility: Exact electrical match for Bard part numbers 8552-059 and 8552-059BX.
- High-Temperature Resilience: Aluminum oil-filled construction ensures stable capacitance under extreme localized heat.
- Enhanced Motor Protection: Maintains the correct power factor to prevent overheating and premature HVAC motor failure.
- Standardized Terminals: Features clearly marked 'Herm', 'Fan', and 'C' (Common) terminals for error-free field wiring.
Can I use a 440V capacitor to replace this 370V model?
Yes, you can substitute a 440V rated capacitor for a 370V unit as it offers a higher dielectric strength, but you must never install a capacitor with a lower voltage rating than the original equipment specifies.
What are the signs that my Bard capacitor has failed?
Common mechanical indicators include a swollen or bulging casing, oil leaks at the terminals, or a loud humming sound from the exterior unit without the fan or compressor engaging.
How do I verify the capacitance is within spec?
Using a multimeter with a capacitance (MFD/uF) setting, test between the Common and Herm terminals (should read 60 MFD +/- 5%) and then between Common and Fan (should read 10 MFD +/- 5%).
