TRADEPRO TP-5 Hard Start Kit - 1/3 HP to 2 HP HVAC Compressor Booster

The TRADEPRO TP-5 is a high-performance hard start kit engineered to provide an essential electrical torque boost to residential and light commercial HVAC compressors. By significantly increasing the starting torque, this component helps the compressor overcome high head pressure and internal mechanical friction, ensuring a rapid and reliable start every time the thermostat calls for cooling.

Technical Performance

Designed for systems ranging from 1/3 HP to 2 HP, the TP-5 utilizes a specialized "Two-Wire" configuration that allows for a non-polarized, direct connection to the existing run capacitor. As a Genuine TRADEPRO performance upgrade, it features a high-capacity start capacitor paired with a solid-state relay. This relay precisely senses the motor's speed and automatically disconnects the start circuit once the compressor is running, protecting the sensitive internal windings from electrical stress and overheating.

Key Features and Function

  • Feature 1: 300% Start Torque Increase – Reduces the duration of high-amperage "locked rotor" starts, significantly extending the life of the compressor motor.
  • Feature 2: Universal Two-Wire Installation – Simplifies service calls with a fast, two-lead connection; no additional wiring or mounting brackets are required.
  • Feature 3: Solid-State Cutout Technology – Integrated sensing ensures the capacitor is only active for the exact millisecond needed to initiate rotation.
  • Feature 4: Low-Voltage System Support – Ideal for units operating on long wire runs or in areas prone to summer voltage drops (brown-outs).

Product Details and Key Specifications

  • Part Number: TP-5 (MFG: TP-5)
  • Manufacturer: TRADEPRO (Genuine OEM)
  • Part Type: Hard Start Kit (Start Capacitor + Solid-State Relay)
  • Application Range: 1/3 HP to 2 HP Compressors
  • Voltage: 115V - 288V AC (Multi-Voltage Compatible)
  • Design: Two-Wire (Non-Polarized)
  • Shipping Weight: 0.5 lbs

🛠️ HVAC Depot Pro Tip: The "Small System" Specialist

While the TP-6 is for larger units, the TP-5 is perfectly tuned for 1-ton and 1.5-ton systems, as well as many large reach-in coolers. Using a "too powerful" hard start on a small compressor can actually stress the bearings, so the TP-5 is the professional choice for smaller residential split systems and heat pumps.

Cross-Reference & Compatibility

The TP-5 is a universal service component and a direct alternative for:

  • OEM Numbers: TP5, TP-HS5, HS5
  • Industry Alternatives: Supco HS5, SPP5, DiversiTech HS5, Mars 32701
  • Applications: Compatible with Reciprocating and Scroll compressors found in 12,000 to 24,000 BTU systems.

Extensive Model Compatibility List

  • 1.0 Ton Units: Fits all major brands including Trane, Carrier, and Goodman.
  • 1.5 Ton Units: Ideal for residential condensers and heat pump sections.
  • 2.0 Ton Units: Max capacity for the TP-5 (Use TP-6 for 2.5 to 3 Ton systems).
  • Refrigeration: Fits most commercial 1/3 HP to 1 HP reach-in compressor types.
