The first capacitor was the Leyden jar, invented independently in the mid-1740s by both Ewald Georg von Kleist and Pieter van Musschenbroek.

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.


How can you check your home AC compressor which does not turn on but the fan is running?

Check to see if the capacitor is good. It is usually located inside the outdoor unit. It could be that the capacitor is bad and needs replacing. The outdoor fan will still run if you have a dual capacitor. One sure sign of a blown capacitor is that the top of the capacitor is bowed outward. If you have a multimeter you could also check the amp draw on the condensing unit. I would look at the capacitor first though
