Function:

Run capacitors play a critical role in single-phase AC motors, commonly found in household appliances and some power tools. These motors receive AC power but lack the inherent ability to generate a perfectly rotating magnetic field necessary for continuous rotation.

Run capacitors come to the rescue by introducing a phase shift in the current supplied to the motor’s windings. This creates an elliptical (oval-shaped) rotating magnetic field, which while not perfectly circular, is sufficient to keep the motor shaft turning and maintain continuous operation.

Key Features:

• Capacitance (µF): Measured in microfarads, this value determines the degree of phase shift introduced by the capacitor. A higher capacitance creates a larger phase shift. The specific capacitance required depends on the motor’s design and power requirements. Using the wrong capacitance can lead to motor overheating or reduced performance.
• Voltage Rating: The capacitor must be rated for the voltage of the AC power it will be connected to (typically 120V or 240V for household applications). Using a capacitor with a lower voltage rating can lead to overheating and failure.
• Dielectric Material: The insulating material separating the capacitor’s conductive plates.
