Fasco® Original 5.0 Mfd capacitor NW1200/2000

Fasco® Original 5.0 Mfd capacitor NW1200/2000

The Fasco® Original 5.0 Mfd capacitor NW1200/2000 is a genuine replacement component primarily used in specialized HVAC and livestock equipment, such as centrifugal blowers and fan motors

Compatibility & Technical Context

• This capacitor is commonly associated with the Fasco A1200 series, which includes centrifugal blowers used in agricultural or industrial ventilation. 
• Associated Motors: The NW1200/2000 is frequently paired with permanent split capacitor (PSC) motors, such as the Fasco A1200 Centrifugal Blower, which operates at 115/230 Volts and features 1550/1450 RPM speeds.
• Capacitance Importance: It is critical to match the 5.0 Mfd rating exactly. According to experts from Nova Engineering and HVAC technicians, using an incorrectly sized capacitor (too high or too low) can lead to an uneven magnetic field, making the motor run hot, increase energy costs, or eventually burn out the motor windings.
• Lifespan: General HVAC capacitors typically last between 10 to 20 years, though high-demand environments may require replacement every 10 to 15 years.
