Bard part 8552-030 is an OEM 40 MFD, 440V round motor run capacitor used in Bard wall mount air conditioners and packaged units to help the compressor or condenser fan motor start smoothly and maintain proper torque while running. When a run capacitor weakens, you can see hard starting, nuisance trips, poor cooling, or a motor that overheats and shuts down, so replacing it with the correct microfarad and voltage rating is key for reliable operation. Match the capacitance and voltage exactly to your unit data and wiring diagram, and confirm the can size listed as 2-1/2 inch round fits the existing strap or bracket before ordering.
