OEM Carrier Dual Run Capacitor 80+7.5 MFD 370V & Start Capacitor Kit for Model PH3ANA060000BAAA
This factory-matched OEM capacitor kit includes both the dual run capacitor (P291-8073RS) and the start capacitor (P281-1766) for the Carrier PH3ANA060000BAAA heat pump condenser. The dual run capacitor stores and delivers the electrical charge that keeps both the compressor and condenser fan motor running continuously. The start capacitor provides an additional torque boost to the compressor motor during startup. When either capacitor fails, you may experience symptoms such as the unit humming but not starting, the compressor short-cycling, tripped breakers, or a complete no-cool condition on your 5-ton system.

Dual Run Capacitor Specs (P291-8073RS): 80+7.5 MFD (microfarad) | 370V round case | Replaces HC98JA082 | ±5% capacitance tolerance | RoHS compliant | UL approved | High-grade metallized polypropylene film construction rated to 60,000 service hours
-
Start Capacitor Specs (P281-1766): 175–216 MFD | 330V round case | Genuine Carrier/Totaline OEM — note: capacitor body may carry the name of Carrier's contracted manufacturer, which is normal and does not affect fitment or warranty
-
OEM vs Generic: OEM-specified capacitors maintain tighter MFD tolerances (±5%) versus aftermarket units that commonly run ±10%, which accelerates compressor wear and shortens motor life on high-demand 5-ton systems. Replacing both capacitors together is best practice — start capacitors often degrade in tandem with run capacitors.
-
Install Difficulty: 2/5 — Always disconnect power and discharge the capacitor before handling. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, needle-nose pliers, multimeter (capacitance mode). Photograph all wiring connections before removal. The start capacitor is wired in parallel with the compressor run terminal — follow your unit's wiring diagram precisely.
-
Warranty & Shipping: 1-year OEM factory warranty on both capacitors. Ships same business day from our warehouse. In stock and ready to go.
Compatibility: Engineered as the factory-specified replacement for Carrier model PH3ANA060000BAAA (5-ton heat pump condenser). Always cross-reference MFD and voltage ratings on your unit's data plate before installation. Our team is available to verify fitment — order with confidence from NationalHVACParts.com.
