2. Motor capacitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_capacitor

   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 ...

3. AC motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_motor

   A capacitor start motor is a split-phase induction motor with a starting motor capacitor inserted in series with the startup winding, creating an LC circuit which produces a greater phase shift (and so, a much greater starting torque) than both split-phase and shaded pole motors. This motor has a centrifugal switch which disconnects the ...

4. Induction motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor

   The capacitor-run designs keep the second winding on when running, improving torque. A resistance start design uses a starter inserted in series with the startup winding, creating reactance. Self-starting polyphase induction motors produce torque even at standstill.

5. Inrush current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

   A discharged or partially charged capacitor appears as a short circuit to the source when the source voltage is higher than the potential of the capacitor. A fully discharged capacitor will take approximately 5 RC time periods to fully charge; during the charging period, instantaneous current can exceed steady-state current by a substantial ...

6. Capacitor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

   The start capacitor is typically mounted to the side of the motor housing. These are called capacitor-start motors, that have relatively high starting torque. Typically they can have up-to four times as much starting torque as a split-phase motor and are used on applications such as compressors, pressure washers and any small device requiring ...

7. Electric motor - Wikipedia

   The clock requires manual starting by a small knob on the back, while the older Hammond organs had an auxiliary starting motor connected by a spring-loaded manually operated switch. Hysteresis synchronous motors typically are (essentially) two-phase motors with a phase-shifting capacitor for one phase.
