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".

Must a motor with a start capacitor have a relay?
A relay is not essential but larger motors have a relay which operates above a certain speed, to cut out the start capacitor, which improves the power factor and reduces power losses.
Does overload relay detect phase reversing of the 3 phase motor?
No, three phase motor overloads just monitor the motor's lines for an overload. Once detected the circuit holding the magnetic starter in will drop out and take the motor off line.
What is the function of phase sensing relay?
A phase sensing relay monitors all three incoming phase legs at once. With the relay the operator has the ability to set the trip points in a percentage of incoming line voltage. If the voltage in any of the monitored legs falls below the operators set point the relay will trip and take the monitored device off line. If it is a motor being protected, the auxiliary contacts on the phase sensing relay will change state and its N.C. contact will open. The motor's contactor coil is in series with this auxiliary contact so with the stoppage of current flow to the magnetic contactor's holding coil, the contactor opens cutting off the supply to the motor.
What is a motor thermistor?
It is a device used to sense the temperature within the motor coils. There are usually three in a three phase motor, one for each coil. The output of the thermistor is used to hold an over temperature relay designed to be used with thermistors, in a closed position. The start circuit of the motor control is connected thriough this relay through N.C. contacts. If the motor goes into a over heat condition then the control relay drops out, the contacts of the relay open which in turn de-energizes the magnetic contactor and disconnects the motor from the supply voltage.
Can a capacitor hold open an ac relay?
No, because as soon as a load is connected across a capacitor it will discharge. You need a continuous voltage supply across the coil of a relay to keep it energized. Yes. A large capacitor, 10000 mfd, can hold open a small relay for a few seconds, plus or minus, depending on your varibles.

3 phase reverse relay can be utilized for motor control speed?
3 phase reverse relay can be utilized to control 480V motor 60HZ for controlling their speedspeed.
Does overload relay detect phase reversing of the 3 phase motor?
No, three phase motor overloads just monitor the motor's lines for an overload. Once detected the circuit holding the magnetic starter in will drop out and take the motor off line.
What is phase failure relay?
These relay sense the Negative Sequence Voltage components of system supply & offers protection against Phase Failure, Phase Sequence Reversal with Under/Over Voltage conditions which are dangerous to motor winding and cause motor burnouts.
How can you include phase failure relay in your star delta motor starter circuit?
The star delta motor starter circuit has to have a control voltage to energize the motor magnetic contractors. A phase failure relay monitors all three phases of the incoming supply lines. The phase failure relay also has auxiliary contacts on it. There are usually two sets of "C" form contacts. The control voltage for the starter circuit must be connected across the normally open (N.O.) contacts of one of these two sets. When the phase monitor is energized these N.O. contacts close supplying the control voltage to the circuitry of the star delta starters. If there is a phase interruption, phase reversal or phase loss, the phase failure relay will de-energize and the N.O. contacts will go back to their de-energized state. If the star delta motor starter is in use at the time, its control circuitry voltage will be lost and the delta motor magnetic contactor will open. The opening of this contactor will disconnect the motor from the failed three phase supply.
How do you calculate 3 phase motor overload relay setting?

What causes the air condition fan not to come on?
faulty thermostat, stuck fan relay, bad fan motor, no voltage to motor, bad circuit board, bad run capacitor...
What is phase fail protection?
In a 3 phase power system, say for a 3 phase motor - it is necessary to have all three phases intact to be able to run the motor efficiently, safely. If any one phase fails , the motor still continues to run but the temperature raises rapidly, due to high current. The motor winding can burn out, can trip off due to overload. Hence a device called phase failure relay is connected. It constantly reads all the 3 phases and cuts off the main supply in case any one phase fails.
