To offset the magnetic field so the motor can rotate without being caught in between the two poles where they resist rotation. Example, is where a motor is humming, but there is no rotation. However, if you kick start the rotation with a slight push then the motor rotates. This is caused by the two poles that are equal in resistance for pull and push.

In order for an induction motor to run, a rotating magnetic field must be established. This requires the field windings to be supplied by currents that are out of phase with each other. A capacitor is used to supply make the current through one field winding become out of phase (current leads voltage in a capacitive circuit) with the second.

A capacitor start motor gives a burst of power. It is necessary to use this type of motor to get the printing press going with the least amount of strain on the motor.

Why is capacitor start motor used for printing press?

A printing press is a very heavy piece of equipment that needs a lot of power to get going. A capacitor start motor is used because it has the ability to supply a lot of power on startup.

No. You won't be able to start the motor without the capacitor.


Can you by-pass a capacitor in an electric motor?

You can not by-pass the capacitor in an electric motor. Most are capacitor-start motors which require the capacitor to be operational in order to start. If the capacitor is not working then it will need to be replaced.


How do you connect capacitor to a capacitor start motor?

A start capacitor is wired in series with the motor's start winding via a centrifugal start switch. The switch disconnects the capacitor and start winding once the motor has reached a pre-determined minimum speed. The motor then continues to run on its main field winding. A different design uses a "start-and-run" capacitor which remains in circuit whilst the motor is running.

What is a split phase motor with relay and capacitor called?

A capacitor start motor is a split phase motor that uses a capacitor in series with the start winding to cause a greater phase shift, resulting in greater starting torque. It uses a centrifugal switch to switch out the start winding and capacitor once the motor is up to speed. I assume this switch is what you're referring to as a "relay".


How do you wire a three phase motor with capacitor start?

I have never come across a three phase capacitor start motor. Any three phase motors I have worked on are induction start.


Can you change a 440 volt 12.5 uF start capacitor with a 370 volt 12.5uF run capacitor?

There are two ways to read this: you have a burned-out run capacitor on your motor and a good start capacitor in your parts box, and you have a burned-out start capacitor and a good run capacitor. If the run capacitor's bad and you want to put the higher-voltage start cap in its place, the answer is yes. This is called derating, and the only thing it does for you is increases the lifespan of the capacitor because you're not working it as hard as it can take. If the start capacitor's bad, don't do this--they used a 440-volt capacitor in there for a reason.
