A squirrel cage induction motor must sense two or more electric phases to cause the magnetic field to start spinning, thus turning the motor’s rotor and shaft. Once the motor starts, the interaction ...

Unlike the capacitor-start-induction-run motor that used a capacitor, this motor makes use of a centrifugal switch to drop the start winding out of the circuit. PSC Motors Permanent Split Capacitor ...

Many single-phase compressors require a start capacitor to assist in starting the motor. These capacitors will occasionally fail, causing a compressor to fail to start. Overheating is a primary cause ...

Sometimes you may need to correct power factor (PF) at a single motor. This means sizing PF capacitors for that motor. The good news: If you size these capacitors correctly, you'll lower your ...

Efficiency standards were once confined to integral horsepower motors but may soon apply to small motors and make certain kinds impractical to manufacture. Today, the electric motors that are of most ...
