What is function of motor capacitor ?
A motor capacitor, such as a start capacitor or run capacitor (including a dual run capacitor) is
an electrical capacitor that alters the current to one or more windings of a single phase AC induction
motor to create a rotating magnetic field. There are two common types of motor capacitors, run
capacitors and start capacitors. The units of capacitance are labeled in microfarads (µF). Older
capacitors may be labeled with the obsolete terms "mfd" or "MFD" which can be ambiguous but are, especially
in this context, used for microfarad as well (a millifarad is 1000 microfarad and not usually seen on
motors).
Motor capacitors are used with air conditioners, hot tub/jacuzzi spa pumps, powered gates, large fans
or forced-air heat furnaces for example. A "dual run capacitor" is used in some air
conditionercompressor units, to boost both the fan and compressor motors.
