If a capacitor is directly connected across a motor then the capacitance of the capacitor will be calculated as under.

Q = 0.9 * Sqrt (3) * V * I0.

Here "V" = Supply voltage & I0 = No Load Current of Motor.

Answer

There is no need to connect capacitors across a three-phase motor.

usually none

the rotating magnetic field is already established

a single phase motor requires a capacitor or an inductor and another pole to establish a rotating field for starting

The capacitor is used to make a single-phase motor rotate in one direction only by supplying a phase-shifted voltage to a starting winding on the motor. Without the capacitor the motor would run up in either direction after an initial spin of the shaft. The rating would depend on the HP of the motor but the VA of the capacitor might be 1/10 times the VA of the motor, which can be estimated from a formula: 1000 x the horsepower.

Capacitors in 3ph systems are there to correct the power factor(the ratio of watts to volt-amps of an AC electric circuit).

Why can a run capacitor with a single phase motor remain in circuit after the motor starts?

Because from the capacitor characteristics at first it will charge and then it will stsrt to run so when the motor get power from single phase capacitor take time for charging. Amit.


Why is a capacitor NOT used in a single phase motor?

Very often a capacitor IS used in a single-phase motor. It provides a phase-shifted current to the starting winding to ensure that the motor runs in the right direction, e.g. clockwise if that is the requirement.

The capacitor is used to create a second phase from the single phase power source and it is the interaction between these two phases that causes the motor to turn.


How single-phase induction motor classified?

The single phase induction motors are made self starting by providing an additional flux by some additional means. Now depending upon these additional means the single phase induction motors are classified as: 1.Split phase induction motor. 2.Capacitor start inductor motor. 3.Capacitor start capacitor run induction motor. 4. Shaded pole induction motor.

Why do you use codenser in fan?

fan is a capacitor start capacitor run single phase induction motor. since single phase induction motors are not self starters, caused by discontinuty in stator mmf. so to iniate rotation single phase supply is splitted 90 degree apart by a capacitor to convert it to a 2 phase motor, which produces a continued synchronously revolving mmf in stator to start the motor. cool !!
