The Bard 8552-074 is an OEM 50 microfarad 370 volt motor run capacitor used in Bard wall-mount HVAC equipment to help the compressor or fan motor start smoothly and run with the correct torque and efficiency. A weak or failed run capacitor can cause hard starting, overheating, nuisance trips, and reduced cooling performance, so replacing it with the correct MFD and voltage rating is critical for reliable operation. Verify the required microfarad rating, voltage, and mounting style against your unit data tag or the Bard parts list for your specific model before ordering to ensure proper fit and safe performance.
