Hi-Torq Run Capacitor

The Hi-Torq run capacitor is a critical electrical component designed for use in HVAC systems and electric motors to provide the necessary torque for starting and running efficiently. This specific unit is a 40.0 µF, 370VAC capacitor, frequently used in residential and commercial cooling equipment.

Historically, the Hi-Torq brand has been associated with high-performance electrical solutions provided by EIS (Electrical Insulation Suppliers). EIS is a major distributor of process materials and components for the electrical and mechanical industries across North America. The product label indicates it was assembled in Mexico, reflecting the common industrial practice of utilizing manufacturing facilities in North America to serve the United States market.

Currently, EIS operates as a leading independent distributor. The company has undergone various ownership changes over the decades, being a former subsidiary of Genuine Parts Company before being acquired by private equity firms. It remains a staple in the supply chain for electrical manufacturing and repair services, maintaining a strong footprint in both the US and Mexico for distribution and assembly.
