Mars 12741 – Jard by Mars 30 MFD, 440V Round Motor Run Capacitor
The Mars 12741 is a single-value motor run capacitor rated at 30 microfarads (MFD) with a voltage rating of 440 VAC. This capacitor is engineered for continuous-duty operation in single-phase HVAC motor applications, including condenser fans and blower motors. It is constructed with a metallized polypropylene dielectric and is hermetically sealed in a round aluminum case.
The capacitor includes a pressure-sensitive safety interrupter and is free of PCBs. It is designed for use in demanding HVAC environments where consistent performance, durability, and thermal stability are required.
