TRADEPRO TP-6 Hard Start Kit - 1/2 HP to 3 HP HVAC Compressor Booster

The TRADEPRO TP-6 is a professional-grade hard start kit designed to provide an essential electrical boost to residential and commercial air conditioning compressors. By increasing the starting torque, this component helps the compressor overcome high head pressure and mechanical resistance, ensuring a fast and reliable start every time the thermostat calls for cooling.

Technical Performance

This high-torque start capacitor is engineered for systems ranging from 1/2 HP to 3 HP. It utilizes a powerful "Two-Wire" design that simplifies installation by connecting directly across the run capacitor. As a Genuine TRADEPRO safety and performance upgrade, the TP-6 features a high-grade start capacitor and an integrated solid-state relay that automatically disconnects the start circuit once the motor reaches operating speed, protecting the compressor windings from overheating.

Key Features and Function

  • Feature 1: 500% Start Torque Increase – Significantly reduces the time the compressor spends in "locked rotor" state, extending the life of the motor.
  • Feature 2: Universal Two-Wire Install – Designed for a fast, non-polarized connection; simply clip it to the 'C' and 'Herm' terminals of the existing run capacitor.
  • Feature 3: Solid-State Reliability – Built-in sensing technology ensures the capacitor is only active for the millisecond needed to kick-start the motor.
  • Feature 4: Low-Voltage Protection – Helps compressors start during "brown-out" conditions or when the outdoor unit is located far from the main electrical panel.

  • Part Number: TP-6
  • Manufacturer: TRADEPRO (Genuine OEM)
  • Part Type: Hard Start Kit (Start Capacitor + Relay)
  • Application Range: 1/2 HP to 3 HP Compressors
  • Voltage: 115V - 288V AC (Multi-Voltage)

🛠️ HVAC Depot Pro Tip: The "Flickering Light" Fix

If your indoor lights dim every time the AC kicks on, the TP-6 is your solution! By getting the compressor up to speed faster, it reduces the massive "Inrush Current" (LRA) that causes that momentary voltage drop. It’s the single best insurance policy you can buy for an aging 2-ton or 3-ton compressor.

Cross-Reference & Compatibility

The TP-6 is a universal service component and direct alternative for:

  • OEM Numbers: TP6, TP-HS6, HS6
  • Industry Alternatives: Supco HS6, SPP6, DiversiTech HS6, Mars 32702
  • Applications: Compatible with Reciprocating, Scroll, and Rotary compressors in 1.5 to 3.0 ton systems.

Extensive Model Compatibility List

  • 1.5 Ton Units: All major brands (Trane, Carrier, Goodman, etc.)
  • 2.0 Ton Units: All major brands requiring extra starting torque.
  • 2.5 Ton Units: Ideal for systems with long refrigerant line sets.
  • 3.0 Ton Units: Max capacity for the TP-6 (Use TP-5 for 4-5 Ton systems).
  • Compatible Refrigerants: Works with R-22, R-410A, and R-407C systems.
