Know before you buy
No, this capacitor is specifically designed as a direct replacement for models ECS0247 and ECS60500. Always check your heat pump's manual or the label on your existing capacitor to ensure the MFD and voltage ratings match your specific unit.
A failing or dead capacitor prevents the motor from starting or maintaining the necessary torque to run efficiently. If your heat pump is humming but the fan or compressor won't engage, the capacitor is often the first component to inspect.
It is critical to match the voltage rating. This capacitor is rated for 440 VAC, which is standard for these AquaCal models. Using a capacitor with a lower voltage rating than required can lead to premature failure or safety hazards.
The 80 MFD (microfarad) rating indicates the amount of electrical energy the capacitor stores to help start and run the motor. Using the correct MFD rating is essential for providing the specific starting and running torque your heat pump motor requires.
Yes, this is a non-polarized electrolytic capacitor. Because it is non-polarized, it does not have a positive or negative terminal, which simplifies the wiring process during installation.
