Tecumseh K150-18 Run Capacitor
The Tecumseh K150-18 Run Capacitor is a precision-engineered electrical component designed to maintain peak efficiency in single-phase compressor motors. Rated at 45 MFD (microfarads) with a maximum 370V single-action voltage rating, this capacitor provides the necessary phase shift to optimize motor torque and reduce operational amperage draw. Housed in a durable, oil-filled aluminum canister, the K150-18 is built to dissipate heat effectively, preventing dielectric breakdown during high-duty cycles in demanding refrigeration and HVAC environments. Field-proven for its reliability, this 45uF 370VAC HVAC capacitor is a direct OEM replacement part, ensuring compatibility with Tecumseh compressors used in commercial reach-in coolers and air conditioning condensers. For technicians, maintaining the correct capacitance is critical; a failed or weak 45 MFD motor run capacitor can lead to increased winding heat, reduced cooling capacity, and eventual compressor failure. This high-quality industrial-grade run capacitor features standard 1/4-inch male quick-connect terminals for a secure, low-resistance interface.
Key Benefits for Your Next Service Call:- Optimized Motor Performance: Precise 45 MFD capacity ensures the necessary phase-angle correction for high-torque starts and smooth running cycles.
- Thermal Stability: The robust aluminum housing and internal dielectric oil facilitate superior heat dissipation, protecting the HVAC compressor capacitor against premature fatigue.
- Universal Compatibility: Industry-standard 370V run capacitor specifications allow for cross-referencing with numerous single-phase motor applications requiring a 45uF rating.
- Secure Interfacing: Equipped with multi-terminal 1/4" quick-connects for rapid installation and reliable continuity under high-vibration conditions.
Can I use a 440V capacitor to replace this 370V unit?
Yes, you can always up-rate the voltage. A 440V capacitor will safely handle the 370V requirement of this circuit, provided the 45 MFD rating remains identical.
What are the symptoms of a failing K150-18?
Common signs include a compressor that is humming but not starting, the outer casing showing visible bulging or "mushrooming," and an out-of-tolerance reading when testing across the terminals with a multimeter.
Does this capacitor include a mounting strap?
This is the individual run capacitor unit. Most contractors reuse the existing mounting bracket or strap from the original installation, provided the diameter matches.
