Many single-phase motors used on refrigeration systems will incorporate some type of capacitor. They will either use a start capacitor to aid in its starting or a run capacitor to improve its running ...

Often, a simple control scheme using a microprocessor can allow manufacturers to use lower starting torque compressors without the use of a hard start kit to operate their ice machines. Before the ...

Consuming up to 44% less volume than conventional capacitors, the MotorCap DM series motor run capacitors employ a novel housing technology that directly molds the capacitor windings into plastic.

I didn't have one intended for the purpose so I used a pair of Angela MKP caps (correct capacitance, higher voltage) I had left over from tube amp building days. Dryers run without these if you give ...

The QPC series of AC motor run capacitors feature locking push-wire terminals that speed installation and eliminate soldering. A metal mounting bracket also speeds assembly. Standard values range from ...

Single-phase motors, adjustable-speed drives (ASDs), and power factor (PF) correction applications often depend on capacitors to operate properly. This article explains how to test these critical ...
