Description
The MARS 12871 Oval Run Capacitor is a dual-section electrical component designed to provide phase-shifting power support for compressor, and fan motors. It stores and releases electrical energy to help motors start and run smoothly with steady torque in HVAC systems. It is commonly installed inside outdoor condenser units, where it stabilizes motor operation under continuous load conditions. HVAC systems rely on this capacitor to maintain proper operation of the compressor and condenser fan circuits within the control assembly. It is typically mounted in a sealed compartment, where it connects through labeled terminals for dual motor operation in routine cooling cycles.
