Why a capacitor is needed
The single-phase motor requires an auxiliary circuit to generate the necessary starting torque.
What the capacitor does
It creates a phase shift in the auxiliary winding.
Capacitor failure symptoms
- The motor hums and does not start.
- It starts with difficulty.
- It loses torque.
- It overheats.
Important
Replacement must be done with the appropriate capacitance and operating voltage according to the motor specifications.
