This Century capacitor is an electrical component designed to maintain a consistent voltage supply and improve the efficiency of motors. With a capacitance value of 7.5 microfarads (mfd) and a voltage rating of 370 volts, it is typically used in HVAC systems such as air conditioners, furnaces, and refrigeration units. The oval shape of the capacitor allows for compact installation in various equipment configurations. It functions by storing and releasing electrical energy, which helps to stabilize the power supply to the motor, enabling it to run smoothly.
