OEM Payne Dual Run Capacitor 50+5 MFD 440V for Model PA10JA04800MACAA

This OEM dual run capacitor (part number P291-5054RS) is the factory-specified replacement for the Payne PA10JA04800MACAA split-system air conditioner. The dual run capacitor provides the electrical charge needed to start and continuously run both the compressor and condenser fan motor within a single can. A failed capacitor typically presents as a humming unit that won't start, a condenser fan that spins slowly or not at all, or a system that trips on high-pressure lockout due to a struggling compressor.

  • Specs: 50+5 MFD (microfarad) | 440V rated | Round case | Factory-matched ±3% tolerance | OEM part number P291-5054RS
  • OEM vs Generic: This is a genuine OEM capacitor manufactured to Payne's exact factory specifications. Generic replacements frequently carry ±10% MFD tolerances, which places added strain on the compressor and condenser fan motor, reducing their service life and potentially voiding equipment warranties.
  • Install difficulty: 2/5 — Always discharge the capacitor before handling terminals — stored voltage can exceed 400V even after power is disconnected. Tools needed: 1/4" nut driver, insulated needle-nose pliers, and a multimeter with capacitance testing capability. Photograph all wiring connections before removal to ensure correct reinstallation.
  • Warranty: Backed by a 1-year OEM factory warranty. In-stock units ship the same business day from our warehouse so your system is back online fast.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for the Payne PA10JA04800MACAA 4-ton split-system air conditioner. Always verify the MFD rating and voltage printed on your existing capacitor's label or the unit's data plate before ordering to confirm an exact match. Not sure if this is the right part? Our HVAC parts specialists verify fitment before you buy — contact us before placing your order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this Capacitor fit my Payne PA10JA04800MACAA?
Yes. This is the factory-specified OEM capacitor for the Payne PA10JA04800MACAA. It is a direct drop-in replacement that fits without modification. Always verify the model number on your equipment nameplate before ordering.
How do I replace the capacitor on my Payne PA10JA04800MACAA?
Difficulty: Easy (20–30 min)
Step 1: Turn off power at breaker. Step 2: Open condensing unit panel. Step 3: Photograph the old capacitor wiring (Common/Herm/Fan). Step 4: Discharge old capacitor with insulated screwdriver. Step 5: Disconnect and remove old capacitor. Step 6: Mount new capacitor, reconnect wires to matching terminals. Step 7: Close panel, restore power, test. Tools: screwdriver, needle-nose pliers.
My AC hums but won’t start. What part do I need?
An AC that hums but won’t start is the classic symptom of a failed capacitor. The capacitor provides the electrical boost to start the compressor. When it fails, you hear humming but the motor can’t overcome inertia. Other symptoms: fan spinning slowly, AC cycling on/off rapidly, or a visibly swollen capacitor. Fix: replace capacitor ($15–$80 DIY, 30 min).
Is this capacitor compatible with Bryant or Payne too?
Many Payne parts are cross-compatible with Bryant and Payne since all three brands are manufactured by Carrier Global Corporation. The same physical part is often used across brand labels with different model numbers. To verify: check your Bryant or Payne equipment service manual for cross-compatible part numbers, or email info@nationalhvacparts.com with your model number.
Should I use OEM or aftermarket for my Payne capacitor?
OEM strongly recommended. OEM capacitors have ±6% MFD tolerance vs aftermarket ±10%. The looser tolerance causes motor winding stress, higher temps, and shorter compressor life. Price difference is only $10–$20 — OEM is the clear value choice.
How fast does National HVAC Parts ship?
Orders placed before 3:00 PM CST ship the same business day. Standard delivery is 2–5 business days anywhere in the continental United States. Express shipping available at checkout. We ship from Houston, TX to all 50 states. 30-day return policy on all parts.
