Pros & Cons

Pros

The purpose of a start/run capacitor is to shift the phase of the current fed to the offset armature windings that provide torque to get the armature spinning. Lower inrush current and a faster start reduces starting heat in the compressor. Got a low ... Read More

Easy to install just make sure power is disconnected and follow wiring diagram. Just be sure to get the right size and follow the wiring instructions.

My onan 7. Totally impressed, got call this morn. Installed on a 14 year old unit. My inlaw's have the same age unit, just a little larger, so we went ahead and put one on theirs too. Gave it to my son to give a spin on his rv rooftop unit.

Use insulated pliers on the capacitor connections.

This thing is a problem solver! This is a do it yourself task, provided you have some skill. If in any doubt, hire a pro to do it.

Cons

Inrush current was no lower than without a kit. Very load vibration like the compressor was stuck, but did not blow any breakers.

Quality

Works like a charm as the product looks like the quality i would expect from a usa manufactured part

I think this kit is of higher quality and will last longer

This is especially important since most if not all starting capacitors are made in china and are very cheap quality

It was the amazon delivery of the product

Price

Got a low cost clamp meter with inrush capability httpswww

Packaging/appearance

My only criticism is that the wiring terminals are not robust and it is easy to bend them when pushing onto the lugs

Competitiveness

Its also beneficial since i have a generac wholehome generator that cant provide as many amps as my electric company

18 year old carrier 5 ton unit now working like a champ

Some people on youtube showed the difference in lra with and without this unit and some were getting twice less ampers with this thing

Purchased for a 3 ton goodman hp
