3 uF/MFD ±5% 370-440 VAC Oval Run Start Capacitor

Key Features

  • Capacitance: 3 Microfarad (uF/MFD)
  • Tolerance: ±5%
  • Voltage Rating: 370-440 VAC (replaces both 370V and 440V capacitors)
  • Frequency: 50/60 Hz
  • Shape: Oval
  • Operating Temperature: -25°C to +70°C (-13°F to 158°F)
  • Construction: Non-PCB, oil-filled case
  • Terminals: Standard 1/4 in. male spade terminals

Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

  • Replaces any single oval capacitor with matching 3 uF/MFD and 370V or 440V specifications.
  • Verify physical dimensions for proper fit.

Compatibility & Fitment

  • Used for motor run applications in single-phase motors.
  • Commonly found in HVAC units, air conditioners, compressors, furnace blower motors, and pool pumps.
  • The dual 370/440V rating makes it compatible with systems specifying either voltage.

When to Replace

  • Motor hums but fails to start or struggles to start.
  • Fan blades or blower wheel turns slower than usual.
  • Compressor or fan motor does not turn on.
  • Visible bulging, swelling, or leaking from the capacitor case.

Installation Tips

  • Disconnect all electrical power to the equipment before servicing.
  • Safely discharge the existing capacitor by shorting the terminals with an insulated screwdriver.
  • Note the wire placement on the old capacitor's terminals before removal.
  • Ensure the replacement capacitor's microfarad (uF/MFD) rating matches the original exactly.
  • The voltage rating of the replacement capacitor must be equal to or higher than the original.

FAQ

A failing capacitor often shows physical signs such as a bulging top, a leaking oily substance, or a burnt smell. Functionally, you may notice your condenser fan motor struggling to start, humming without spinning, or the air conditioner failing to cool effectively. If you have a multimeter with a capacitance setting, you can test the terminals; if the reading is significantly lower than 3 uF, the capacitor should be replaced.
This 3 uF capacitor is a universal replacement for HVAC systems, heat pumps, and condenser fan motors that require a 3 uF rating. It is compatible with systems specifying 370 VAC or 440 VAC. It serves as a direct replacement for various part numbers including C403, C403L, C303, 12027, and 4X425A.
Yes. A capacitor rated for 440V is designed to handle higher voltage stress, making it perfectly safe and often more durable when used in a 370V application. You must, however, ensure the capacitance (3 uF) remains exactly the same as the original part.
Installation typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. You will need a screwdriver to access the electrical panel and a pair of insulated needle-nose pliers to disconnect the spade terminals. Always ensure the power to the unit is completely shut off at the breaker before beginning. It is recommended to discharge the old capacitor with an insulated screwdriver across the terminals before handling.
No, this is a non-polarized capacitor. You can connect the wires to either terminal without affecting the operation of the motor.
