Motor Runnig Capacitors

Operating capacitors

Capacitor batteries

Running capacitors are electrical components that are the basis of any electrical circuit. They are two electrically charged conductors separated by a dielectric such as paper, plastic, glass, air, or other material that is a weak conductor. A field is created between the two wires in which electrical energy can be stored. This conserved electrical energy can be used in compensating for drops in the electromagnetic field of the rotor of the given electrical appliance. In principle, it closely resembles the operation of a battery, which is why it is called a capacitor battery.

Capacitor or battery

The difference between a standard battery and a capacitor battery is that the battery releases electrical energy that has been stored for a short period of time, while with working capacitors this stored electrical energy can be released instantaneously in a large amount until it is completely discharged. When the voltage in the electromagnetic field of the conductive plates is interrupted, it is preserved.

The working capacitors that are included in the circuit throughout the working process of the electric motor. They compensate for drops in the electromagnetic field during the rotation of asynchronous motors. Each capacitor bank has a certain capacity, which is measured in farads.

Examples of working capacitors

The CBB61 series of work capacitors are widely used and suitable for:

• starting and control of single-phase asynchronous motors
• various types of industrial and domestic fans and ventilation systems
• dishwashers and washing machines
• industrial sewing machines
• refrigerating pumps and compressors

The CBB60 series of work capacitors are widely used and suitable for:

• starting and control of single-phase asynchronous motors
• industrial and domestic pumps
• air compressors, etc.

Condenser selection

When choosing a working capacitor, it is very important to consider the voltage and capacity of the capacitor bank. Using the wrong capacitor can cause the motor to malfunction and even cause it to overheat or fail!
