It energizes the start capacitor at startup for the extra torque needed to spin the motor, then automatically drops the capacitor out of the circuit once the compressor reaches operating speed — protecting the start capacitor from overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommon failure symptoms:\u003c\/strong\u003e A defective \u003cstrong\u003e28W50\u003c\/strong\u003e potential relay commonly causes a compressor that won't start or hums without turning over, repeated start-capacitor burnout, tripped breakers, or short cycling on the compressor. Because the relay and start capacitor fail together so often, they're frequently replaced as a pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy OEM matters:\u003c\/strong\u003e Potential relays are rated to a specific pickup and dropout voltage tuned to your compressor's back-EMF. A mismatched relay can leave the start capacitor energized too long — destroying it — or drop out too early, causing hard starts. The OEM Lennox \u003cstrong\u003e28W50\u003c\/strong\u003e is matched to your compressor's exact electrical characteristics, ensuring correct switching, protected components, and dependable starts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lennox","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":63081109782899,"sku":"LNX-28W50","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/1190\/5395\/files\/nhvac-capacitor-start-LNX-28W50.jpg?v=1783762882","url":"https:\/\/nationalhvacparts.com\/products\/oem-lennox-potential-relay-28w50","provider":"National HVAC Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
