Rheem-Ruud 43-17075-12 Start Capacitor
The Rheem-Ruud 43-17075-12 Start Capacitor is a high-duty 161-193 MFD capacitor engineered to provide the high-torque surge required for compressor ignition in residential and commercial HVAC units. Designed for efficiency, this 250Vac round start capacitor effectively lowers the amperage draw during the locked rotor amperage (LRA) phase, reducing electrical strain on the system during cyclical operation. Built with a phenolic case and equipped with standard 1/4-inch quick-connect terminals, it ensures a secure, heat-resistant connection for long-term field reliability. This OEM Rheem replacement part is essential for servicing systems where the motor is struggling to overcome head pressure or where high-ambient temperatures demand a precise 161-193 microfarad capacitive boost to reach operational RPMs quickly.
Key Benefits:- Ensures consistent starting torque for compressors during high-load environmental conditions.
- Compatible with 240V single-phase motors used in Rheem, Ruud, and WeatherKing air conditioners and heat pumps.
- Phenolic housing provides superior dielectric strength and resistance to moisture and vibration.
- Precision 161-193 uF rating matches manufacturer specs to prevent premature winding failure.
- How do I know if I need a 161-193 MFD capacitor instead of a run capacitor? Start capacitors like the 43-17075-12 are strictly for providing a momentary torque boost; if your compressor hums but fails to start, the start capacitor is often the culprit.
- Can this replace a lower voltage start capacitor? Yes, the 250Vac rating can safely replace capacitors rated at 125V or 165V, provided the microfarad (MFD) range remains identical.
- Does this include a bleed resistor? Some revisions of the 43-17075-12 include a pre-soldered resistor to discharge energy; always verify your specific system requirements during installation.
