The starting capacitor is generally electrolytic and may range from 80 to 300 micro-farads for 110-volt 60 HZ motors. They can range from 3 to 16 micro-farads. The running capacitor is usually paper-spaced oil-filled and typically rated at 330-volt AC for continuous operation. The motor starts with the centrifugal switch closed.ĬLICK HERE for Electric Motors and Accessories on AmazonĪfter the motor reaches 70 to 80 percent of synchronous speed, the starting switch opens and disconnects the starting capacitor. The starting capacitor is in parallel with the running capacitor only during the starting period.

A Split Phase Capacitor Run electric motor has a running capacitor permanently connected in series with the auxiliary winding. Split Phase Capacitor Run Electric Motor. SPLIT PHASE CAPACITOR RUN SINGLE PHASE MOTOR DIAGRAM Split Phase Capacitor Run Electric Motor Motors of this type are suited for air conditioning and refrigeration applications, belt-driven fans, etc. The main winding is connected directly across the line, while the auxiliary or starting winding is connected through a capacitor which may be connected into the circuit through a transformer with suitably designed windings and capacitor of such values that the two windings will be approximately 90 degrees apart. The centrifugal switch opens the auxiliary circuit when the motor reaches 70 to 80 percent of synchronous speed.Īlso known as a capacitor-start, induction-run motor. SPLIT PHASE CAPACITOR START MOTOR Split Phase Capacitor Start Electric Motor.Ī Split Phase Capacitor Start Electric Motor may be defined as a form of a split-phase motor having a capacitor connected in series with the auxiliary winding. This motor is good for directly connected drives requiring low starting torque, such as fans, blowers, some pumps, etc. The main winding is connected directly across the line, while the auxiliary or starting winding is connected to the line through the capacitor, giving an electrical phase displacement. The motor obtains its starting torque from a rotating magnetic field produced by the two stator windings physically displaced. Motors of this type start and run with a fixed value of capacitance in series with the starting winding. A capacitor is permanently connected in series with the auxiliary winding. SPLIT PHASE PERMANENTLY CONNECTED CAPACITOR MOTOR Split Phase Permanently Connected Capacitor Electric Motor Wiring Diagram.Ī Split Phase Permanently Connected Capacitor Electric Motor also has a squirrel-cage rotor with a main and starting winding. These motors are suitable for oil burners, blowers, business machines, buffing machines, grinders, etc. The motor may be started either in either direction by reversing the main or the auxiliary (Starting) winding. The function of the starting switch is to prevent the motor from drawing excessive current and protect the starting winding from excessive heat. In series with the starting winding is a centrifugal starting switch which opens the starting circuit when the motor has attained approximately 75 to 80 percent of synchronous speed. It has a starting winding of high resistance, which is physically displaced in the stator from the main winding. The Split Phase Induction Electric Motor is equipped with a squirrel-cage rotor for constant speed operation. SPLIT PHASE INDUCTION SINGLE PHASE MOTOR DIAGRAM Split Phase Induction Electric Motor.
