Service & TroubleshootingPregunta 75 de 110
What is the primary function of a run capacitor on a single-phase motor?
a.To fuse the circuit
b.To improve motor efficiency and provide a phase shift for smoother running
c.To ground the motor
d.To measure airflow
Explicación
A run capacitor stays in the circuit during operation, creating the phase shift the motor needs for efficient torque and smoother running. A weak or failed run capacitor causes low torque, overheating, and high amp draw. It is tested with a capacitance meter against its microfarad rating.
