Why does a single phase motor have to be capacitive before it can be started?

The function of the capacitor is to split the phase, that is, to turn one phase into two phases, and the angle is less than 90 degrees. In this way, the two-phase winding will produce a rotating magnetic field, and the rotor will rotate.

1. The running winding of the single-phase motor can only produce a pulsating magnetic field - the electromagnetic field corresponding to any point of the motor stator can only be made at that point, including the change in polarity direction and amplitude. In other words, a rotating magnetic field cannot be formed.

Three-phase power supplies, on the other hand, can generate a rotating magnetic field. ]

2. The capacitor winding, in space, is orthogonal to the running winding, that is, it is 90 degrees [electric angle, for motors with 4 poles and more than 4 poles]. If the capacitor winding is connected with the same power supply as the running winding, then the magnetic field generated by the synthesis of the two windings is still a pulsating magnetic field.

3. In fact, a capacitor with a certain capacity is connected in series in the capacitor winding, so that the equivalent circuit of the winding becomes a circuit in series between the resistance inductance and the capacitor, as long as the capacitance value meets the phase angle of the current at a certain angle ahead of the voltage, such as 30 degrees;

4. At the same time: if the current lag voltage of the inductive running winding is 60 degrees, then the current phase difference between the two windings reaches 90 degrees [close to it]. In this case, the maximum point of the electromagnetic field in the circumference of the stator occurs periodically at intervals of 90 degrees of electric angle – thus creating a rotating magnetic field.

At this point, it is only natural that the motor will spin.

5, and without the capacitor, 3 cannot be realized. So there will be no result of 4. Therefore: capacitors are required.

Summary. Hello, pro some single-phase AC motors with a capacitor, is the starting capacitor. Whereas, some single-phase AC motors have two capacitors, one is the starting capacitor and the other is the running capacitor.

Generally, there are two types: capacitor starting and capacitor operation. It is generally capacitor-started for machinery.

Electric fans and small blowers are also single-phase motors, and they are capacitive-operated.

Single-phase AC motors have only one winding, and the rotor is squirrel cage type. Single-phase electricity cannot produce a rotating magnetic field. To make the single-phase motor can rotate automatically, we can add a starting winding in the stator, the starting winding and the main winding are 90 degrees apart in space, and the starting winding should be connected in series with a suitable capacitor, so that the current with the main winding is approximately 90 degrees different in phase, that is, the so-called phase splitting principle.

In this way, two currents with a difference of 90 degrees in time are fed into two windings with a difference of 90 degrees in space, and a (two-phase) rotating magnetic field will be generated in space, and under the action of this rotating magnetic field, the rotor can start automatically, and the capacitor is connected to the circuit after starting, which is called the capacitor to run the single-phase motor.

A single-phase motor has only one capacitor, is it a starting capacitor or a running capacitor?

Hello, I have seen your question and am sorting out the answer, please wait a while

Hello, pro some single-phase AC motors with a capacitor, is the starting capacitor. Whereas, some single-phase AC motors have two capacitors, one is the starting capacitor and the other is the running capacitor. Generally, there are two types: capacitor starting and capacitor operation.

It is generally capacitor-started for machinery. Electric fans and small blowers are also single-phase motors, and they are capacitive-operated. Single-phase AC motors have only one winding, and the rotor is squirrel cage type.

Single-phase electricity cannot produce a rotating magnetic field. To make the single-phase motor can rotate automatically, we can add a starting winding in the stator, the starting winding and the main winding are 90 degrees apart in space, and the starting winding should be connected in series with a suitable capacitor, so that the current with the main winding is approximately 90 degrees different in phase, that is, the so-called phase splitting principle. In this way, two currents with a difference of 90 degrees in time are fed into two windings with a difference of 90 degrees in space, and a (two-phase) rotating magnetic field will be generated in space, and under the action of this rotating magnetic field, the rotor can start automatically, and the capacitor is connected to the circuit after starting, which is called the capacitor to run the single-phase motor.

Starting capacitor Yes, this capacitor is only the starting capacitor, and its function is to start. You can even disconnect that capacitor after the motor starts, and the motor can still rotate. All of them do the initiating role.

Normal capacitors detach due to centrifugal action after start-up. Capacitance is a series of phases that act to produce a rotating magnetic field.

Because the capacitor has the function of phase shifting, the voltage at the initial two ends of the capacitor is zero, and the current will be 90 degrees ahead, resulting in a difference of 90 degrees between the current of the starting coil and the current of the running coil. Without this capacitance, it is impossible to form a rotating magnetic field formed by the front and back currents, and the direction of rotation cannot be determined.

<> single-phase capacitor motor has two windings, namely the starting winding and the running winding. The two windings differ by 90 degrees in the cavity space. A capacitor with a large capacity is connected in series on the starting winding, and when the running winding and the starting winding pass through a single-phase alternating current, the current in the starting winding is 90 degrees ahead of the current of the running winding in the time of hitting the circular beat due to the capacitor, and reaches the maximum value first.

Two identical pulsed magnetic fields are formed in time and space, so that a rotating magnetic field is generated in the air gap between the stator and the rotor, and under the effect of the rotating magnetic field, the motor rotor generates an induced current, and the current and the rotating magnetic field interact with each other to produce electromagnetic field torque, so that the motor rotates.

Generally, the wire diameter of the running winding (main coil) is a little thicker, and the wire diameter of the starting winding (sub-coil) is thinner, and the resistance value of the starting winding is slightly larger than that of the running winding with a multimeter.

The starting principle of single-phase motor is divided into:

1. Resistor-started type (refrigerator motor, etc.);

2. Capacitor start type (woodworking planer motor, etc.);

3. Capacitor operation type (washing machine, electric fan, etc.);

4. Capacitor start operation.

Because the motor has a short starting coil, it can also generate a rotating magnetic field, and this structure can be used in motors with small starting torque.

In addition to capacitive starting, single-phase motors also have resistance split-phase starting and shaded pole starting.

Split-phase motors are commonly used in water pumps, freezers, compressors, conveyors, cutters, machine tools, etc.

The shaded pole is activated, that is, a short-circuit copper ring is used. Or a short circuit coil covers the 1 3--1 4 parts of the magnetic pole to generate a rotating magnetic field to start the motor, which is called a shaded pole motor. It does not require a starter and capacitors.

Summary. Hello dear ! The 220V single-phase dual-capacitor motor has one starting capacitor and one running capacitor. The larger capacitance is the starting capacitor, and the smaller capacitance is the operating capacitor. After the motor starts, the centrifugal switch disconnects the starting capacitor from the circuit.

I am a single-phase motor with only one capacitor, how large is the capacitance of this capacitor?

Summary. Hello, I will help you answer this question, usually the motor above 300W adopts dual capacitors, both starting capacitor + running capacitor. The single capacitor operation type of the motor below 300W has only one capacitor, and the motor acts as a starting capacitor when it starts, and acts as a running capacitor after the motor runs normally.

Therefore, this capacitor is the starting capacitor when the motor starts, and the capacitor when the motor is running.
