DAYTON 2MDV4 Run Capacitor 5 Mfd 370 Vac Oval

Dayton 2MDV4 run capacitor is an energy-saving device that is always present in the motor circuit. When a run capacitor fails, the motor can experience several issues, such as not starting, overheating and vibrating.

Features:

• Dayton 2MDV4 run capacitor maintains a charge and stays energised while a motor is operating.
• This run capacitor is used in applications requiring medium-to-high torque, such as auger drives, compressors, air conditioners and conveyors.
• It enhances a motor's running performance by constantly offering additional torque, whereas start capacitors exit the circuit once the motor reaches its operating speed.
• This 2MDV4 run capacitor features 1/4 male quick-connect terminals with plastic insulators and an aluminium case with a steel cover.
• It is critical to match the shape (round, oval, or rectangle) as well as the microfarad rating, voltage and dimensions of the original capacitor when replacing a run capacitor.

Standards and Approvals:

• cULs

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the operating temperature range of this Dayton 2MDV4 run capacitor?

A. Dayton 2MDV4 run capacitor offers an operating temperature range of -40 to 185 degrees F.

Q. What is the distinction between a run and a start capacitor?

A. Run capacitors are more prevalent. They store the energy required to keep the fan motor running so that the air conditioner can continue to cool. The start capacitor, on the other hand, specifically provides the energy needed to start the air conditioner.

Q. What causes the failure of a run capacitor?

A. Overheating is the main cause of a failed start capacitor. Start capacitors are not intended to dissipate the heat generated by continuous operation. They are employed to remain in the circuit only briefly while the motor is starting. If a start capacitor is left in the circuit for an extended period of time, it will overheat and fail.
