This article discusses whether motor run capacitors can be used as motor starting capacitors and whether they have side effects.
Can I use a running capacitor as a starting capacitor?
The purpose of the starting capacitor is to slow down the current in the fair winding while the motor is starting and to disconnect it from the circuit when the router reaches a certain speed.
The motor run capacitors can act as a starting capacitors, but the starting capacitor cannot be installed as a starting capacitor. A high capacitance value is required to indicate that a running capacitor assembly (two or more capacitors in series) can be connected to start the motor or generate high torque throughout the motor.
The value of the execution capacitor is much smaller than the value of the starting capacitor capacitor. A single starting capacitor cannot start the motor because it cannot provide enough torque to the motor. There is no problem (or defect) with the starting capacitor to start the motor, but the starting (or starting) characteristics may not be up to the mark and the motor has a higher (or stronger) starting current with a lower current. It is taken.
What happens if a capacitor fails to run?
There are two types of capacitor failure. Catastrophic malfunctions generally occur due to the long-term operation of the motor starter circuit. The upper part of the starting capacitor was blown and the inner part was slightly or completely discharged. The capacitor could be a pressure blast blister.
If the operating capacitor fails, the motor can display a variety of problems. For example, the vibration does not start, overheats, starts slowly, or the engine makes a humming noise. The router (or root) resonates in irregular positions because the motor does not have a uniform electric field. A poorly running capacitor can cause the motor to become noisy, use more power, reduce performance, and overheat.
What is the purpose of a starting capacitor?
The starting capacitor comes with an auxiliary (or starting) coil of the motor. The capacitance of the starting capacitor is much higher than the capacitance of the operating capacitor.
The purpose of the starting capacitor is to provide sufficient torque to start (or energize) the motor and to de-energize (or de-energize) the circuit after the motor has reached a certain (or) speed. If there is no starting capacitor when voltage is applied to the motor, motor will produce (or produce) a humming noise. The capacitance range of the starting capacitor is 70-120 μF.
The starting capacitor increases the starting torque of the motor and allows the motor to be stopped and started quickly. The starting capacitor is designed for short-term use. They cannot continue to activate any more.
How to check if the AC capacitor is bad?
AC condensers are an integral part (or component) of an air conditioner (or AC) outdoor condensing unit or heat pump. AC capacitors provide enough power for the motors running the air conditioning system.
Signs of a bad AC capacitor:
- Smoke or burning smell from the outside of the air conditioner
- Air conditioner does not produce cold air even after long hours of operation
- humming noise from the air conditioner
- old air conditioning system
- AC ends alone or randomly
- The alternating current does not start immediately after turning on the power
- High energy consumption causes energy charges to rise unexpectedly
Effect of Failed AC Capacitors:
- circuit overheating system
- Alternating current (or cooling system) short circuit.
- A rush of force or impulse.
- discharge or stun.
- The outdoor temperature peaks violently
Conclusion: From the above description, we can conclude that the starting capacitor can be used as a starting capacitor, but the starting capacitor cannot be used as a starting capacitor.
