STARTING & RUNNING CAPACITORS

ABOUT STARTING CAPACITORS :-

Motor Start Capacitors briefly increase motor starting torque and allow a motor to be cycled on and off rapidly. A start capacitor stays in the circuit long enough to rapidly bring the motor up to a predetermined speed, which is usually about 75% of the full speed, and is then taken out of the circuit, often by a centrifugal switch that releases at that speed. Afterward the motor works more efficiently with a run capacitor. Start Cap 250V Series Capacitors are manufactured in PP Cylindrical case and designed for use in any motor start Application.

ABOUT RUNNING CAPACITORS :-

Single – phase Ac electric motor require a “ Run Capacitor “ to energize the second-phase winding (auxiliary coil) to create a rotating magnetic field while the motor is running. Motor Run capacitors are designed for continuous duty while the motor is powered. Run capacitors are mostly polypropylene film capacitors and are energized the entire time the motor is running. Motor Run capacitors are usable for general sine wave applications as Filters, Inverters, UPS Devices etc., but are also particularly suitable for the operation of asynchronous electric motors and electric compressors. As motor run capacitors they assure smooth and energy-saving operation of electric motors used in applications such as refrigerators, freezers, electric compressors, washers, dryers, air-conditioning appliances, ventilators, pumps & Industrial Motors.
