A motor capacitor is an electrical capacitor that alters the current to one or more windings of a single-phase alternating-current induction motor to create a rotating magnetic field. [citation needed] There are two common types of motor capacitors, start capacitor and run capacitor (including a dual run capacitor).
As a point of general reference, it is possible for an electrolytic capacitor to heat up even during normal operation, if the capacitor is exposed to ripple currents. This is a situation where the capacitor is rapidly charged and discharged, either partially or completely. For example, on the output of a rectifier, or in a switching power supply.
There are two common types of motor capacitors, start capacitor and run capacitor (including a dual run capacitor). Motor capacitors are used with single-phase electric motors : 11 that are in turn used to drive air conditioners, hot tub / jacuzzi spa pumps, powered gates, large fans or forced-air heat furnaces for example.
Capacitor motor with a speed limiting governor device. Start capacitors lag the voltage to the rotor windings creating a phase shift between field windings and rotor windings. Without the start capacitor, the north and south magnetic fields will line up and the motor hums and will only start spinning when phsically turned, creating a phase shift.
Heat - Exceeding the design limit of operating temperature can have a big effect on run capacitor life expectancy. In general, motors that are operated in hot environments or with little ventilation will experience a dramatically reduced lifespan on their capacitors.
Run capacitors are designed for continuous duty while the motor is powered, which is why electrolytic capacitors are avoided, and low-loss polymer capacitors are used. Run capacitors are mostly polypropylene film capacitors (historically: metallised paper capacitors) and are energized the entire time the motor is running.
