Quick overview
- Rated 50 MFD at 370V The capacitance and voltage rating are printed on the can, and a replacement has to match both.
- Round can This is the round body style, not the oval style, so check the shape of the one you are pulling out.
- Run capacitor It stays in the circuit while the motor runs, unlike a start capacitor that drops out after the motor comes up to speed.
- Common failure part A swollen, leaking or open capacitor is one of the first things to check on a motor that hums without turning.
- SuperPro part 12725 Ordered by part number rather than by motor model.
- Inexpensive fix Replacing a capacitor is far cheaper than replacing the motor it sits on.

Product details
The SuperPro 12725 is a round run capacitor rated 50 MFD at 370 volts. It is the replacement for a pool pump motor that uses a capacitor of that value.
What a run capacitor does
Single phase motors need a phase shifted current to get turning and to keep turning efficiently. The run capacitor provides it, and unlike a start capacitor it stays in the circuit the whole time the motor is running. When it weakens or fails, the motor draws more current, runs hot, or sits there humming without turning at all.
Matching the replacement
Go by the rating printed on the capacitor you are removing, not by the pump model. This one is 50 MFD at 370V in a round can. If yours reads a different capacitance, or is oval rather than round, it is a different part. Capacitors hold a charge after power is off, so discharge the old one before handling it.
