Overview
The Mars 12010 is a 15 Microfarad (MFD), 370VAC oval run capacitor engineered to keep single-phase HVAC motors running at peak efficiency. Designed for continuous-duty operation, this capacitor maintains the phase shift needed to sustain smooth motor rotation in air conditioners, heat pumps, condensing units, and other HVAC equipment. The compact oval form factor fits easily into standard capacitor brackets and tight equipment compartments, making replacement fast and straightforward.
Key Features
- Capacitance: 15 Microfarad (MFD/µF)
- Voltage Rating: 370VAC
- Oval case design for easy installation in standard capacitor brackets
- Continuous-duty rated for long service life
- Suitable for use with condenser fan motors, compressors, and blower motors
- Direct replacement for failed or degraded run capacitors
Applications
- Residential and light commercial air conditioners
- Heat pump condensing units
- Single-phase condenser fan motors
- Blower and air handler motors
- Refrigeration equipment motors
Why Run Capacitors Matter
Run capacitors remain energized throughout motor operation, providing the continuous phase shift that keeps single-phase motors running efficiently. A weak or failed run capacitor causes motors to draw excess current, overheat, and fail prematurely. Replacing a degraded capacitor with a quality Mars unit restores proper motor operation and protects the motor from damage.
