Only Single phase induction motors need capacitor to star it, because of single phase.

With the help of capacitor in the starting winding circuit it is easy to create rotating magnetic field inside motor which is responsible for running of motor.

To start a single-phase induction motor, you need two electromagnetic fields that are roughly 90 degrees out of phase from each other. This results in a rotating magnetic field within the stator which drags the rotor around with it. To achieve this, the stator has two field windings, one of which has a capacitor connected in series with it. This results in two field currents to be roughly 90 degrees apart, thus creating the necessary out-of-phase magnetic fields. Once the machine is running, the capacitor can be removed from the circuit, and this is a achieved with a centrifugal switch. Some machines, on the other hand, keep the capacitor permanently in the circuit.

the purpose of the capacitor is to create a phase difference between main winding current and axillary winding. this would produce a rotating constant magnetic field which is required to produce the torque.

The only association of a capacitor with a three phase motor is for the correction of the power factor of the motor.

What is run capacitor in single phase motor starter with three wire?

A run capacitor and a starter capacitor are not the same thing. A run capacitor is energized the entire time the motor is running, and a start capacitor is not. A run capacitor is one that changes the current on the windings of a single phase AC induction motor to create a rotating magnetic field to energize a second-phase winding. A start capacitor increases starting torque, allowing a motor to be turned on rapidly. It stays in the circuit only long enough to bring the motor to 3/4 of full speed. Some motors then continue to run with a run capacitor.
