Bard HVAC 8552-052BX Run Capacitor
The Bard HVAC 8552-052BX is a precision-engineered 45/5 MFD 370V dual run capacitor designed specifically for demanding residential and commercial HVAC applications. As a direct replacement for Bard part number 8552-052 and Genteq 97F9861HT, this round metal-case capacitor provides the necessary phase shift for both the compressor and the condenser fan motor. Maintaining exact microfarad ratings and a 370 VAC voltage rating is critical for optimal motor torque and efficiency. This 2-1/2 inch diameter round capacitor features high-grade metallized polypropylene film technology to handle the thermal loads found in Bard self-contained units and heat pumps. When diagnosing a motor that fails to start or hums under load, ensuring you have an OEM-equivalent HVAC capacitor like the 8552-052BX is essential for restoring system power factor and preventing premature motor winding failure.
Key Benefits for Contractors
- Broad Compatibility: Interchangeable with 97F9861HT and 8552-052, simplifying inventory for Bard wall-mount service calls.
- Dual-Run Functionality: Supports the compressor (45 MFD) and fan motor (5 MFD) simultaneously from a single 370V round run capacitor.
- Stable Performance: Engineered for continuous duty cycles to maintain precise capacitance despite fluctuating ambient temperatures.
- Rugged Construction: Features a standard 2.5-inch diameter for secure fitment in existing mounting brackets and straps.
Common Questions
Can I use a 440V capacitor to replace this 370V unit?
Yes, in the field, a 440V capacitor can replace a 370V unit as the voltage rating indicates the maximum surge it can handle; however, the capacitance must remain exactly 45/5 MFD.
How do I know if the 8552-052BX capacitor is failing?
Check for physical signs like a bulged top terminal plate or use a multimeter to verify if the microfarad readings stay within +/- 6% of the 45 MFD and 5 MFD specifications.
Is the 8552-052BX compatible with all Bard units?
It is used extensively in Bard series equipment requiring a 45+5 uF 370V rating. Always verify the motor nameplate or parts list for your specific model before installation.
