Capacitor Start Motor
A Capacitor Start Motor is a type of single-phase electric motor that uses a capacitor to provide an extra boost of starting torque. This capacitor is connected in series with the starting winding, allowing the motor to start more efficiently and quickly. Once the motor reaches a certain speed, a centrifugal switch disconnects the capacitor, allowing the motor to run on its main winding.
These motors are commonly used in applications requiring high starting torque, such as in air compressors, pumps, and fans. Their design makes them suitable for both residential and industrial use, providing reliable performance in various settings.
