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 ...

FIGURE 1: This electrical schematic diagram shows the cooler’s single-phase, R-134a capacitor start/capacitor run (CSCR) refrigeration compressor motor, and starting relay circuit section. July 6, ...

A motor control IC is a convenient way to implement custom motor drive algorithms such as the single-phase induction motor (SPIM) control. A generalized control algorithm, implemented and tested in an ...

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 ...

The diameters of the new series range from 25 to 40 mm at insertion heights of 58 to 120 mm. The new types are designed for rated voltages of 400 and 450 V AC and cover a capacitance range from 2 to ...
