Lennox by Mars® 29W09 Dual Run Capacitor – 70/10 MFD, 440V, Round
The Lennox 29W09 is a dual-section run capacitor designed for use in HVAC systems requiring support for both compressor and condenser fan motors. With a capacitance rating of 70/10 microfarads and a voltage rating of 440V AC, it provides continuous-duty operation for permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor circuits.
Manufactured with metallized polypropylene film and enclosed in an aluminum canister, the 29W09 includes an internal pressure-sensitive interrupter to protect against overpressure conditions. It is configured with standard ¼" male quick-connect terminals for compatibility with OEM systems and field-replacement applications.
