DiversiTech Run Capacitor 440V 70 PRCFD705A

The DiversiTech PRCFD705A is a round dual run capacitor rated 70 plus 5 microfarad at 440 volts for compressor and condenser fan motor service in larger air conditioning equipment.

Utility supply events are an underappreciated cause of capacitor failure. Lightning-induced surges, switching transients on the distribution network, and the voltage disturbances that accompany a utility fault all impose stress on the capacitor's dielectric well above normal operating levels. A single severe event can puncture the dielectric, while repeated moderate events accelerate the gradual capacitance loss that eventually takes the capacitor out of tolerance.

Where a property experiences frequent outages or is served by an overhead distribution line in a storm-prone area, capacitor failures cluster after weather events. A unit that stops working the day after a thunderstorm is more often a failed capacitor or contactor than damaged compressor windings, and the diagnosis should proceed in that order.

Surge protection at the condensing unit disconnect is available and worth considering on equipment in exposed locations.

The 70 microfarad section serves the compressor and the 5 microfarad section serves the condenser fan motor.

Confirm both values, voltage rating, case dimensions, and terminal arrangement before ordering. Discharge both sections before handling.
