Troubleshooting single-phase refrigeration compressors requires a technician to have a proficient understanding of capacitors. The start capacitor is one of two types of capacitors that can be found ...

Capacitor start motors make use of a start capacitor to boost its starting torque. Most of these motors use a centrifugal switch to disconnect the start capacitor from the start winding circuit at the ...

The run capacitor limits the current that will pass through the start winding when the motor is running, because they are wired in series. The run capacitor also provides running torque when the motor ...
