Motor Running Capacitor

A motor starting capacitor is an electrical component designed to provide an initial boost of energy to electric motors during startup. It temporarily stores electrical energy and releases it to enhance the motor's torque, helping it overcome inertia and achieve efficient operation. Typically used in applications such as air conditioning units, compressors, and pumps, these capacitors are crucial for ensuring smooth starts and reducing wear on the motor. They come in various capacitance ratings and configurations, including clamp mounts and quick-connect terminals, to accommodate different motor types and installation needs.
