The Bard HVAC 8552-052BX is a round dual-run capacitor engineered to provide reliable starting and continuous run support for both the compressor and condenser fan motor in a single compact unit. Rated at 45/5 MFD and 370 volts, this OEM-quality capacitor is a direct replacement designed to restore peak electrical performance in Bard HVAC systems.
Why Dual-Run Capacitors Matter
Dual-run capacitors combine two capacitance values in one round housing, eliminating the need for separate run capacitors. The 45 MFD section supports the compressor motor while the 5 MFD section powers the condenser fan motor — reducing component count, simplifying installation, and saving valuable panel space.
