MARS 12893 Run Capacitor

MARS 12893 Run Capacitor

The MARS 12893 Run Capacitor is a high-performance 55/5 microfarad 370Vac round dual run capacitor designed for demanding HVACR applications. Engineered for precision, this dual-rated component provides essential phase-shifting for both the compressor and condenser fan motor within high-efficiency residential and light commercial cooling systems. Featuring a rugged aluminum case and quad-blade terminals, the MARS 12893 ensures secure electrical connections and efficient heat dissipation under high load. As a non-PCB dual run capacitor, it utilizes a proprietary biodegradable dielectric fluid, meeting strict environmental and safety standards. This HVAC replacement capacitor is an exact physical match for many OEM parts, providing a reliable solution for technicians diagnosing motor failure or intermittent starting issues. With its 370V rating and 55+5 MFD tolerance, it maintains the necessary torque and operational efficiency required to extend the service life of major refrigeration and air conditioning equipment components.

Key Benefits
  • Dual-Rated Performance: Supports two distinct microfarad requirements (55 MFD for the compressor and 5 MFD for the fan motor) in a single round run capacitor housing.
  • Enhanced Safety: Built-in pressure-sensitive interrupter provides a mechanical disconnect if internal pressure rises, preventing enclosure rupture.
  • Technical Reliability: Rated for a maximum of 370 VAC with a 50/60 Hz frequency range, ensuring compatibility with standard HVAC voltage standards.
  • Construction Quality: Features a moisture-resistant dielectric oil and high-grade 1/4-inch quick-connect terminals for fast field installation.
Common Questions

Can I use the MARS 12893 to replace a 440V capacitor?
No. While you can replace a 370V capacitor with a 440V version, you must never replace a 440V capacitor with a lower-rated 370V unit like the 12893, as it will likely lead to premature failure.

What are the signs that my current 55/5 MFD capacitor is failing?
Common symptoms include a humming sound from the compressor, the fan failing to spin without a manual push, or a visible "bulge" or leak on top of the capacitor casing.

Does the MARS 12893 work with both heat pumps and AC units?
Yes, provided the microfarad requirements (55+5 MFD) and voltage rating (370V or lower) match the manufacturer's specifications for the unit's motor and compressor.
