A HVAC capacitor, also commonly known as an AC capacitor, plays a critical role in helping your system run efficiently. These components provide the necessary start-up power to motors and ensure smooth operation. Over time, these capacitors can degrade or fail, leading to poor performance or system shutdowns. Knowing how to properly test and replace …

A motor run capacitor is an essential component in the operation of single phase electric motors. Unlike motor start capacitors, which are only active during startup, motor run capacitors remain engaged while the motor operates, providing a continuous phase shift and improved power factor. These capacitors are essential in applications requiring stable operation, reduced energy …

A motor start capacitor is an essential component in single-phase electric motors. It provides the extra torque needed to start the motor under load. This capacitor creates a temporary phase shift in the electrical supply, generating a stronger rotating magnetic field to initiate motor operation. Start capacitors have a high capacitance value, typically ranging from …
