    Good brands of run capacitor for house heat hump

    Are there good brands for 'run capacitors' or 'start capacitors' that are used on electric motors or heat pump compressors? ... r are the good capacitor brands for electronics (power supplies, laptops, motherboards, etc.) also the good brands for run capacitors?
    Yeah I know this might be a novice question, but I just wanted to be sure. I did do a search on the forum but did not see this question asked before.

    Thanks

    Amrad, Titan HD (not Titan Pro), Mars (only the USA made ones). Generally any of the US made brands are decent (compared to the Chinese/Mexican stuff) which all of the listed brands are, however none of them last as long as they did before the PCB phaseout.

      Great info. "...the PCB phaseout" - - So that is what has caused them to not last as long. I was wondering why they did not last as long as these days.
      Thank you

        I hear Aerovox are pretty good, seen them used a lot with HID ballasts and haven't really seen/heard of many, if any failures. But yeah, oil filled capacitors as a whole suffered a lot during the PCB ban, as those older capacitors were really stable and held up really well, even to this day.
        I'm not a expert, I'm just doing my best.

          I use Cornell Dubilier and Amrad with good success. Anywhere from an electric wood splitter, to deep well pumps. So far so good.
