Many single-phase motors used on refrigeration systems will incorporate some type of capacitor. They will either use a start capacitor to aid in its starting or a run capacitor to improve its running ...

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 ...

Single-phase motors are common in many industries and can be found in blowers, pumps, fans, lathes, and numerous other types of equipment. Single-phase motor failures or malfunctions can often be ...

A squirrel cage induction motor must sense two or more electric phases to cause the magnetic field to start spinning, thus turning the motor’s rotor and shaft. Once the motor starts, the interaction ...

The capacitor is one of the most important electrical components, and we’ll learn how it works in this second part of the basic electronics course for kids. It will be explored in terms of energy ...

A thin-film termination technology developed by AVX makes it possible to dramatically reduce the internal inductance of decoupling capacitors. A thin-film termination technology developed by AVX ...
