The First Company E149 is a 5 MFD/370-volt capacitor engineered to deliver consistent, reliable electrical energy storage for HVAC motor start and run applications. Designed as a direct OEM-quality replacement, this capacitor helps maintain proper motor torque and efficiency in air handlers, fan coils, and other First Company equipment.
Key Features
- Capacitance: 5 MFD (microfarads)
- Voltage rating: 370V
- Designed for motor start and/or run duty in HVAC systems
- OEM-quality replacement for First Company equipment
- Supports proper motor torque, smooth startup, and efficient operation
- Compact design for straightforward installation in tight equipment compartments
Application
The E149 capacitor is suited for use in First Company fan coil units, air handlers, and related HVAC equipment where a 5 MFD/370V capacitor is specified. Replacing a worn or failed capacitor promptly helps prevent motor burnout, reduces energy consumption, and extends overall system life.
Why Choose a Quality Replacement Capacitor?
Capacitors are among the most commonly replaced components in HVAC systems. A failing capacitor can cause hard starting, reduced motor efficiency, overheating, and premature motor failure. Using the correct OEM-specified capacitor — like the First Company E149 — ensures your system operates within design parameters and maintains peak performance.
