WHAT IS A START AND RUN CAPACITOR USED FOR ON YOUR HEATING & COOLING SYSTEM?
Start and run capacitors are normally used in AC motors to aid in starting and running efficiency.
Both capacitors are wired in series with the start winding of the motor.
The reason they are not both called start capacitors is that the start capacitor gives the motor more torque to overcome the fact that it is at standstill, and then automatically disconnects itself from the circuit.
The run capacitor gives the motor better running efficiency and remains part of the circuit, it is therefore called the run capacitor.
We use AMRAD USA Capacitors (manufactured in Palm Coast, Florida) and they have a 5-year unconditional warranty.
Our goal is to help educate our customers about energy and home comfort issues (specific to HVAC systems).For more information about Indoor Air Quality and other HVAC topics,click here to visit our website
