Mars 12782 – 30/7.5 MFD, 440V Dual Section Round Motor Run Capacitor
The Mars 12782 is a dual-value motor run capacitor designed to support two motor windings—commonly a compressor and fan—in permanent split capacitor (PSC) HVAC systems. With a capacitance rating of 30/7.5 microfarads (MFD) and a voltage rating of 440 VAC, this unit is engineered for continuous-duty operation in residential and light commercial applications.
The capacitor features metallized polypropylene film dielectric construction, sealed in a round aluminum case. It includes a pressure-sensitive interrupter to prevent internal rupture in the event of dielectric failure. This model is oil-filled, hermetically sealed, and manufactured without polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), meeting applicable UL and RoHS compliance standards.
