If my hvac compressor does not use run capacitor can I still use this 5-2-1 relay kit, and by taking out my existing starting capacitor ? And or should I install new run capacitor ? but which one for 2 ton unit? uf,

Are you sure that you don't have a run capacitor -- unless you have 3 phase AC(most residential units use 1 phase). A lot of scroll compressors don't use start cap.(mostly because it saves the manufacturer $) but unless you have 3 phase ac they need a run cap.

Yes, the A/C thermostat sends a 24volt a/c current to the relay in your air conditioner outside and the circulation fan on the inside. When this current is sent it trips both of these relays and starts up the compressor and circulating fan. I changed it myself.....took a few pictures to be sure o hook up the same way and all worked just fine. $160 sounds like a lot to me! Good luck.

You can use hook and loop or psa depending on what backing pad you buy. I think it comes with a hook and loop one but can't quite remember. My compressor is 85 cfm but I am sure it could run with as little as 10 cfm or so, THis is a bit of a guess. I have bought loads of these in my time and won't by anything else

Honestly the directions are confusing and I would put it to you this way. Unless you get a capacitor with a resistor on with a diode I think you'll be fine should you have a diode just reverse the wires so it will flow through. BUT if it flows in both directions then your self discharging capacitor has a blown diode. Other than that you can test a cap any which way I have found even though I do wonder why the lack of info. It has worked well for me and I understand it is a Made in China simplistic tool but its simple and cheap for quick diagnostics. I only use it for HVAC work.

I'm not sure whether this kit will work on your model. But if you order this kit and if they aren't the same capacitors you need, you can write or email them and tell them your model# they should be able to send you the capacitors you need. A blown capacitor is bulgy on top, that's the one you need to replace, they have a number on the side, so those are the one's you need to order, then a video on Youtube can show you how to do it. You can contact the seller and ask them. We knew nothing about replacing a capacitor, till we ordered this kit. Good luck.

No. I have had this model for three years without any problem. Unlike Mr. Blake, my compressor runs quietly. One recommendation - when not in use unplug it. I have had past problems with compressors due to electric surges. Your question though raises my curiosity - why such an inquiry?

I have had my compressor on a 15A circuit for over a year and never tripped a breaker. Just keep in mind, that could change with what else you have running on that circuit. I don't think you will have any problems under normal usage.

No, There is a maximum of +10% tolerance in microfarad rating on replacement start capacitors, but exact run capacitors must be replaced. Voltage rating must always be the same or greater than original capacitor whether it is a start or run capacitor. The capacitor you are replacing is actually two capacitors in one. A 35 microfarad for the compressor, and a 5 microfarad for the condenser fan. You can make a substitution up to 10%, but replacing the original 5 microfarad capacitor with a 3 microfarad capacitor would be a 40% difference. Don't do it.

The 521 capacitor is manufactured by CPS Products, Inc., based in Florida. It is a very good product. The 521 helps to "kick start" your AC, so that your lights don't dim, etc., when the compressor starts. If your current hard start capacitor prevents your lights from dimming when the AC starts, I would continue to use it. I do believe the 521 is the best on the market, though.

I own a Campbell Hausfeld 15Amp Compressor which cannot be powered by this Generator (even when new). The reason is the very high starting current needed to get the compressor up to proper operating speed. Even if you can manage to start the compressor when your generator is new , this will dramatically shorten the life of your generator which was not designed for such high overloads (even though they may last for only 5 to 10 seconds or less). You will also find that after the compressor reaches its' pressure cutoff point , it can only be restarted if you let all of the air out of the compressor. Please note that this is not a design defect in the Champion Generator per se , the same applies to every such generator in this capacity range. Please not also , that if such a compressor is plugged-into a 15Amp duplex outlet this will usually cause the 15Amp Circuit Breaker (in the breaker box) to operate. Del G. Cartwright

You need to determine your amp draw on the equipment. Remember that start-up amp on most compressors will be almost time and a half the normal running usage amps.

I have not but that would depend on the amperage demand of the compressor. By that I mean the start up draw of the electric motor and then the running draw. If you can find out what those will be then you'll know if this will work.

You have a dual run capacitor the 80 is for the compressor and the 5 is for the condenser fan motor if the capacitor is still good you can use it also for the new motor but you need someone who knows how to test it and wire it don't try it yourself .

hi oscar. yes you need a relay capacitor, this kit comes with the relay. i installed this kit to my 2005 nissan frontier and works great, i also installed with this kit a canceller capacitor. i just hook it up with this kit bacause i have them before buying this hid kit,, but all you need is the relay and is included with this kit. hope this help.

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.

I used brass airbrake fittings and airbrake tubing to replumb from the compressor head to the manifold, I don't think the voltage will be a problem, its just a matter if the replacement valve will fit in the place of the original. Much better switch than the what sears offers

his part is both the start relay and the overload. The start relay boosts the compressor, and then shuts off as soon as the motor gets up to speed and the overload provides extra protection against excessive temperatures. The capacitor helps the compressor kick on and off while maintaining a constant temperature to keep things frozen in your freezer. http://www.partselect.com/PS2069268-Whirlpool-67005560-Overload-Relay-with-Start-Capacitor.htm
