A popular style of fan motor used on older refrigeration equipment is the permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor. It is an electric motor made up of essentially two magnets: one is stationary (the ...

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 ...

Correctly installing capacitors at the terminals of your motors can lower reactive power requirements and increase system power factor. Induction motors are the primary source of rotary power in the ...
