Lennox (Mars®) 89M80 Dual Run Capacitor – 45/5 MFD, 440V, Round
The Lennox 89M80, manufactured by Mars®, is a dual-section motor run capacitor designed for use in HVAC systems with permanent split capacitor (PSC) motors. It provides continuous-duty operation for both the compressor and condenser fan motor, with a capacitance rating of 45/5 microfarads and a voltage rating of 440V AC.
This round capacitor features a metallized polypropylene film dielectric and is housed in a sealed aluminum case with a pressure-sensitive interrupter for overpressure protection. Standard ¼" quick-connect terminals allow for straightforward field installation and service replacement.
