Can the 5-2-1 capacitor be used on a 15,000 BTU RV roof mount A/C unit?

Willie, I am not an HVAC expert, but, this kit is for 240 volt use. I would check with your RV A/C service person before ordering it. Joe from Kalamazoo

This capacitor is a kick-starter for a compressor that is hard to start. It should work on an RV unit and is easy to install. So far it is working great on our unit.

yes it will. a 15 k will draw about 16 amps.this unit puts out about 30 amps

Apparently it will work. I have a 10000 btu and a 15000 btu AC and it works with both of them. Hope this helps.

If the 15 amp device is something big to start, It will not. I cant use my 15 amp compressor (Ridgid) using this 3500 W Champion Generator.

i don't know. my son in law was told that the capacitor in my ac was going bad and it needed to be replaced. it would have cost a fortune to have the repairs done by the a/c company so he looked up the part on amazon and figured out it would work. it's shaped a bit different that the original but, he installed it and my a/c works fine. i don't know how he figured out that it would work even though slightly different. i hope you are able to figure it out.

Quite frankly, I am not really smart enough about surge watts and the like. I use my capacitor for a 230 volt 4 ton air conditioning condenser. So, I do not know if that relates what your situation is.

No, but I would replace it while I had the A/C unit open. The 80+5 is actually a dual capacitor, there is a 80mfd side and a 5mfd side (so the 80mfd side will go to the compressor motor). Over time the start capacitors will degrade that is why it's recommended to replace the capacitor with the motor. If you decide to keep the 80mfd capacitor for the compressor motor then just buy a 5mfd start capacitor for the new fan motor. Again I would replace all the old capacitors and get a new 80+5.

10000 btu AC should be about 3 kW,check if so. This converter can hold up to 5 kW.

I honestly believe it should work all right in place of the original one. The real values of these caps. come with a wide tolerance range to begin with.If anything the fan could run a little faster. Upon installation I would keep the sections in the same sequence as the original, meaning the 4.5 in place of the 4, the 5 in place of the other 4 and the 6 in place of the 5. Connection error should be avoided to prevent damage.

Yes and no. A capacitor is used by electrical components (like a Freon compressor) where it takes a lot more power to initially start, but significantly lower to run. This is easily achieved by using a capacitor which builds up power to start the compressor, then allows it to run at a lower power to cool the inside of your fridge. So to answer your question, yes it could work as the RCO410 is a generic capacitor that manufactures use (like the fridge I fixed with it); however, looking up your fridge it has a different design that plugs into the side of the compressor. If you don't want to spend the ~$45 for the OEM capacitor (PS9493638), its possible you could rewire the compressor on your model to make it work but you'd have to see how difficult that would be and if you have enough wire in length coming out of the compressor. Bottom line, if you didn't follow along with most of what I said you should stick to spending the extra money and buying the same part to replace the old one with.

This is a combined capacitor and start device for 1/4 HP or smaller compressor. They also make it in a higher HP rating you should look at that one.

It will function but you must keep all contacts very clean. Any oxidation will cause heat to build any will overheat the conectors. It may get hot anyway. It is a little light duty. 15 amp outlets often have 15 amp breakers. The A/C probably is less than 15 amps but it would be worthwhile to check. I am assuming it is av110v A/C unit.

I'm not sure, but join this forum and they will know. Excellent group of people and lots of help. http://www.rv.net/forums/index.cfm/fuseaction/listings/forum/22.cfm

It may be similar, but probably not exact. You can always email us with a list of capacitors you need and we can create a custom kit!

Yes, though with a bit of trickery. I installed a hard start capacitor in my Dometic AC unit. Without it, the generator would trip because of the high initial load. The hard start capacitor worked like magic.

It should, I don't see why not it worked with my ac unit which wasn't listed
