Copeland 914-0008-70 Start Capacitor
The Copeland 914-0008-70 Start Capacitor is a high-duty electrical component engineered to provide the necessary starting torque for single-phase HVACR compressors. Rated for 43-52 Microfarad (MFD) and 330Vac, this round-case electrolytic capacitor is essential for field technicians and contractors managing high-head pressure starts in air conditioning and commercial refrigeration systems. Built to survive the demanding duty cycles of industrial environments, it facilitates rapid motor acceleration and reduces the duration of high-inrush current, which protects internal motor windings from thermal stress. This OEM Copeland start capacitor is the direct replacement for ensuring proper phase-shift and starting performance in compatible Copeland condensing units and compressors. When diagnosing a compressor that fails to turn over or hums under load, verifying the 43-52 MFD capacitance range and 330V voltage rating is the standard industry protocol for a reliable repair and long-term system stability.
Key Benefits- Optimized Starting Torque: Provides the 43-52 MFD boost required to overcome inertia in heavy-duty compressor applications.
- High Voltage Threshold: The 330Vac rating ensures robust performance during voltage fluctuations common in commercial power grids.
- Durable Round Housing: Compact form factor designed for seamless integration into standard motor control boxes and capacitor brackets.
- OEM Precision: Guaranteed compatibility with Copeland-specified electrical circuits, maintaining original equipment performance standards.
Can I use this 330V capacitor to replace a 250V model?
Yes, in capacitor applications, you can always go up in voltage rating (e.g., replacing 250V with 330V), but never down. This 330V unit offers a higher safety margin for the circuit.
What are the symptoms of a failing 914-0008-70 capacitor?
Technicians typically look for a "bulged" or leaking top, a compressor that hums but won't start, or a capacitor measuring outside the +/- 10% tolerance of the 43-52 MFD rating.
Is this a run capacitor or a start capacitor?
This is a start capacitor, meaning it is designed for intermittent duty to assist during the first second of start-up. It must be paired with a potential relay or start relay to be removed from the circuit once the motor reaches speed.
