Capacitors are manufactured, by using etched and formed pure aluminium foils (%99,99), seperated from each other with a low dencity, dielectric paper, inpregneted with a special electrolyte. Capacitor elements are fixed to the bakelite case, by filling the space between them, with a bituminous compound (softening point 110C min.).

Poles brought out to single or double, fast-on terminals. On requested supplied with end cap, bipolar cable, discharge resistance and metal mounting bracked.

- Application

In a fractional horse power single phase motor, in order to create a high starting torque, it will be necessary to displace the phase of the auxiliary winding by 90 degrees from the main winding, to get a rotating field. This will be achieved by connecting a motor start capacitor in series with the starting winding. This capacitor and the starting winding will be disconnected automatically, as soon as the motor reaches about %75 of its synchronious speed.

With a suitable choosen motor start capacitor, a loaded single phase motor will reach its full speed in approx. 3 seconds.

A table for start capacitors suitable for different HP ratings of 220 Volt AC 50/60 Hz single phase motors is given below.
