Single-phase motors, adjustable-speed drives (ASDs), and power factor (PF) correction applications often depend on capacitors to operate properly. This article explains how to test these critical ...

Potential relays are commonly found on many smaller, single-phase, capacitor-start, capacitor-run motors in the HVACR industry. Their function is to assist in starting the electric motor. Potential ...

Illinois Capacitor, Inc. announced the release of its QPC Series AC Motor Run Capacitors. These capacitors are quicker to install and offer more durability and reliability. Exclusive locking push-wire ...

I didn't have one intended for the purpose so I used a pair of Angela MKP caps (correct capacitance, higher voltage) I had left over from tube amp building days. Dryers run without these if you give ...

There are several reasons to use a three-phase inverter to run a single-phase induction motor, including isolation from variable power grids, reduction of peak currents and elimination of the starting ...
