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 ...

Capacitors are essential components in electronics, primarily used for bypassing and decoupling. Depending on the capacitor type and its application, it is prone to aging and failure. Detecting a ...

We all know that capacitors are necessary to the proper functioning of any HVAC system. Yet, some in the HVAC industry have elected to make capacitor selection decisions based primarily on price.
