OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor 80+5 MFD 370V for Model PH12NA06000GABAA

This OEM dual run capacitor (part number P291-8053RS, current replacement: P291-8054R) is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PH12NA06000GABAA heat pump condensing unit. The dual run capacitor delivers the electrical charge needed to start and continuously run both the compressor and the condenser fan motor in a single round can. When this capacitor begins to fail, you'll notice symptoms like a humming condenser that won't turn on, a fan blade that spins freely by hand but won't self-start, or a system that short-cycles and trips the high-pressure limit within minutes of startup.

• Specs: 80+5 MFD (microfarad) | 370V rated | Round case | ±5% factory tolerance | Replaces HC98JA081 and HC93CA081
• OEM vs Generic: OEM capacitors are manufactured to Carrier's exact tolerance and dielectric specifications. Generic alternatives often run ±10% MFD deviation, which accelerates compressor wear, shortens motor life, and can void equipment warranties.
• Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor fully before handling any terminals. Tools required: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter (capacitance setting). Photograph all wiring connections before disconnecting. Swap terminals one at a time to avoid miswiring.
• Warranty: 1-year OEM manufacturer warranty. In-stock and ships the same business day from our warehouse.

Compatibility: Engineered as the direct OEM replacement for Carrier model PH12NA06000GABAA. Also cross-references Carrier/Bryant/Payne part numbers HC98JA081, HC93CA081, and HC93CL081. Verify the MFD and voltage ratings on your unit's data plate before ordering — the successor P291-8054R is rated 370/440V and is a drop-in upgrade. Questions about fitment?
