All capacitors fundamentally have two sides or "connections" so that any single capacitor will have two terminals.
That is true whether capacitors are used in single phase (using one or more capacitors), or in three phase power (same number of discrete capacitors on each phase).
The packaging of capacitors is mostly as "singles" having just two connecting wires or terminals, but certain applications - such as three-phase motor speed controllers - often use "blocks" of three or more capacitors, packaged together into one "body" or "casing". Those "capacitor blocks" have four or more connecting wires or terminals.
Just use any two of the three terminals that are available, this will give you a single phase capacitor.
Some examples of single-phase motors include split-phase, capacitor-start, shaded pole, and permanent split capacitor (PSC) motors. Each type has its own unique design and application, offering different characteristics and performance capabilities.
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.

A run capacitor is used to improve the efficiency and power factor of a single-phase motor by providing a phase shift to the auxiliary winding. Once the motor is running, the capacitor helps maintain a steady motor speed and performance. It remains in the circuit to assist in the motor's operation.
Drawing block diagram of single phase capasitor start motor?
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 !!
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.
mainly due to undervoltage.
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.
