Technical professionals requiring a precise, high-performance capacitor solution will find the Carrier P291-1553 to be a critical component for restoring system integrity. This 15/5 Microfarad 370Vac Oval Dual Run Capacitor is engineered specifically for permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor applications, facilitating both the start and continuous operation of the compressor and fan motor. Designed as a Carrier OEM replacement part, it ensures exact electrical matching for a variety of residential air conditioning and heating units. The 370V dual run capacitor construction utilizes high-grade metallized polypropylene film and is reliability-tested to meet rigorous service hour parameters, ensuring consistent capacitance stability in demanding HVACR environments. With a 15 MFD compressor rating and a 5 MFD fan rating, this 15+5 uF oval capacitor integrates a pressure-sensitive interrupter (10,000 AFC) and non-PCB dielectric fluid for enhanced safety and performance. Contractors should verify the microfarad rating and physical oval dimensions to ensure a perfect fit within the existing capacitor strap and housing.

Key Benefits for Technicians:

• OEM Precision: Guaranteed Carrier P291-1553 compatibility for seamless integration into Carrier, Bryant, and Payne equipment.
• Enhanced Safety: Features a built-in internal pressure-sensitive interrupter and 10,000 AFC (Available Fault Current) protection.
• High-Durability Build: Utilizes non-PCB dielectric fluid and high-grade metallized polypropylene film for long-term thermal management.
• Dual-Motor Support: Efficiently manages both the 15 MFD compressor and 5 MFD fan circuits from a single oval footprint.
• Broad Frequency Range: Rated for reliable operation on both 50Hz and 60Hz electrical systems.

Common Questions:

• Can I use a 440V capacitor to replace this 370V model? Yes, a 440V rating is a suitable upgrade as long as the 15/5 MFD ratings and physical dimensions match. You cannot, however, use a lower voltage rating.
• Is the P291-1553 polar sensitive? No, these AC run capacitors are non-polarized. Ensure the 'HERM', 'FAN', and 'C' (Common) terminals are wired correctly to the corresponding system leads.
• Will this oval capacitor fit if my current one is round? The electrical specifications may match, but you will likely need a different mounting bracket or strap to secure an oval capacitor in a round-mount application.
