A typical motor start capacitor. A motor capacitor [1] [2] 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 ...
English: Schematic of a parallel plate capacitor with a dielectric spacer. Two plates with area A {\displaystyle A} are separated by a distance d {\displaystyle d} . When a charge ± Q {\displaystyle \pm {}Q} is moved between the plates, an electric field E {\displaystyle E} exists in the region between the plates.
A variation of the centrifugal switch used a changeover contact to ensure that the auxiliary windings remain in the circuit through a running capacitor. These motors are called two-value or capacitor start capacitor run motors. Centrifugal switches are found in many clothes dryers, supplying power to the motor in parallel with the start switch ...

For a machine to run as an asynchronous generator, capacitor bank must supply minimum 4567 / 3 phases = 1523 VAR per phase. Voltage per capacitor is 440 V because capacitors are connected in delta. Capacitive current Ic = Q/E = 1523/440 = 3.46 A Capacitive reactance per phase Xc = E/Ic = 127 Ω. Minimum capacitance per phase:
The start capacitor is typically mounted to the side of the motor housing. These are called capacitor-start motors, and have relatively high starting torque. There are also capacitor-run induction motors which have a permanently connected phase-shifting capacitor in series with a second winding. The motor is much like a two-phase induction motor.
