If a motor is running when the cap fails it will probably continue to run at much higher amp draw and most likely shut down on thermal overload. It can start with a bad cap, but in my experience it most likey wont.

Causes for a brand new AC capacitor start motor to overheat and shut off?

Two reasons could be that the motor was wired incorrectly or the load that the motor is driving is too heavy for the HP of the motor.


What the main different between shunt motor and induction motor and AC motors?

induction motor is AC motor also synchronic motors are AC motors but second one has not slip but first one has slip . shut motor is DC motor


Is it necessary to cool electric motors?

Sometimes it is necessary to let motors cool down if they are a heavy duty motor, like on an air compressor, but you can actually put a fan up against a motor to help keep it cool, if it can't be shut off for a long period of time. A fan motor doesn't need to be cooled down, because it is actually kept cool, with the fan blade sitting in front of it. But if it is on farm machinery I would suggest you give your motor at least 30 minutes to an hours rest, just to protect the life of the motor and keep it from overheating.


What Effect thermo coupling has if broken?

The thermocouple generates a small amount of electricity when it is heated which sticks open an electromagnetic valve,If the thermocouple fails, you'll be able to light the pilot, but it will shut down when you release the button.They're easy enough to replace, and they're under $20.Remember, this is an electrical connection, not gas. You don't have to sock it down or use sealer.


Does the charge that flows into the capacitor during the charging process go all the way through the capacitor and back to the battery's or does it get stored somewhere in the capacitor?

A capacitor stores electrical charge. When the device is shut off, the charge will - over time - slowly bleed off. But immediately after shutdown, the charge is still present in the capacitor. In large capacitors, such as those found in air conditioning units, older style televisions, and microwave ovens, the stored charge can be strong enough to be potentially lethal. Service technicians have safe procedures for bleeding off the capacitor charge, but those not knowledgeable about electrical systems should not touch a chassis of above-mentioned items, even if shut off and unplugged. Stickers that say "Danger - High Voltage" mean exactly what they say.Another AnswerA capacitor does NOT store charge; it stores energy.The net charge on the plates of a capacitor is no different whether it is 'fully charged' or 'fully discharged'. It does not take charge from the supply and store it on its plates! It simply allows electrons from one plate to be transferred to the other, so there is no change in the overall amount of charge.What it does do is to store energy, expressed in joules.

What does it mean when your ac is blowing hot air?

Check your outside unit. Is the fan blowing? If not replace outdoor fan motor or the fan capacitor. If the fan is running then the compressor may not be. Usually a quick fix by replacing the capacitor. In most units a dual capacitor that is bad may shut down the fan or compressor. Call a HVAC technician to replace it. This can be very dangerous.

Why do the interior lights stay on when mydoors are shut in my 91 Toyota 4Runner?

The interior lights will remain on for a duration of time after the doors are shut as a safety/courtesy feature. The reason they remain on is the capacitor in the lighting electrical circuitry. The capacitor passes on energy when the circuit is powered, and retains voltage when the circuit is powered down. Once the circuit is powered down, i.e. the vehicle shut off and doors closed, the capacitor still holds that charged voltage and discharges itself over a period of time, usually 30 seconds or so. As it discharges, the electricity moves through the circuit and through the bulbs until the capacitor is completely discharged. Hope this helps!
