Motor Start Capacitors
The motor start capacitor, or start capacitor, is active solely during motor startup, connected with an auxiliary winding. It automatically disconnects, often via a centrifugal switch, when the motor reaches a set speed.
Newcap manufactures AC motor start capacitors utilizing etched and formed aluminum foils of superior purity. These foils separate the anode and cathode, with tissue paper employed to retain sufficient electrolyte and absorbent material. To shield the capacitor element from atmospheric moisture and dust, it is enclosed within an aluminum can. For enhanced safety, these capacitors undergo complete insulation with PVC shrinkable sleeves and are further sealed within an outer tubular aluminum can. Flexible terminations of the desired length are provided as per specific requirements.
