You want to know what kind of capacitor you would need to drive a 2880 watt motor at 72 volts?

can,t be done with a capacitor alone current only flows when a capacitor is charaging or discharging. capacitors are used in motors for diffrent reasons some are cap start or cap run, or for power factor corection. you should make sure any capacitor is replaced with the correct voltage and amp rating.

Would an electric motor start if its capacitor broke down?
No.
What happens if you put a inductor instead of the capacitor at the capacitor start motor?
An inductor can be used, in principle, but it has to be the right inductance, it will waste more power than a capacitor, and the motor would rotate the opposite way.
How many volts can a capacitor hold. what would be the formula for a capacitor that holds 100 volts?
The working voltage of a capacitor depends on the nature of the dielectric and its thickness. Most capacitors are marked on the case e.g. 500V wkg. or just 150V. Small components are colour coded; the code will tell you the capacitance, and the wkg voltage.
How many amps drawn a 110KW motor?
Watts = Volts times Amps. Therefore, if the voltage was 220 volts, the motor would draw 500 amps. If the voltage was 4,000 volts, the motor would draw 27.5 amps. The voltages for large powerful motors tend to be relatively high, for example in the 380 Volts to 11,500 Volts range.
Can you run a 480 volt machine with 600 volt incoming voltage?
Yes, but the 600 volts would have to be transformed down to 480 volts. Direct connection to the motor with 600 volts would overheat the motor to destruction.
What happens if you place a capacitor on a dc motor?
Depending on voltage and amperage needed to run the motor,say,3volts.If you use a 3+volt capacitor what will happen is that the motor will turn once(not rev/min) and stop when the capacitor is completely drained which would occur in about half a second or less. Contributed writer:Dennis Wachira.
What effect will be produced on a capacitor of the separation between the plates is increased?
Nothing until the potential difference produces an electric field stronger than the insulation in the capacitor can take. Then it will spark over. For an air capacitor that is approximately 33,000 volts per centimetre in dry air, so for spacing of 0.25 mm the sparking voltage would be around 700-800 volts
What rating of capacitor is used on single phase motor?
If a capacitor is directly connected across a motor then the capacitance of the capacitor will be calculated as under.Q = 0.9 * Sqrt (3) * V * I0.Here "V" = Supply voltage & I0 = No Load Current of Motor.AnswerThere is no need to connect capacitors across a three-phase motor.
Can a ge 36volt motor be run on 48 volts?
The 36 volt motor will over heat (depending on the load of the motor)on 48 volts and melt the copper inside the motor you can rewind the copper inside to cope with the extra 12 volts.My answer would be not to try it as i have and it totaly melted the copper inside.
Can you run a 3 phase motor from 240 volts socket or would a change of motor be required?
yes . A change of motor would be required. The motor windings would have to be totally different. three hot leads instead of two. And three phase would have to come from your provider.
How powerful of an alternator and a capacitor would be needed to run a 6000W Subwoofer system in a 1999 Dodge Intrepid?
6000 watts divided by 14.2 volts (12 volt car system operates near 14.2 volts), gives you 422 amps. You would need 4 alternators rated at 110 amps each to make 6000 watts of power at 12 volts. If the system were 24 volts, you would only need 2.
Connect a 380V 50hz motor to 460V 60hz?
Generally this will be possible. To keep the motor energized correctly you need to keep the volts per hertz roughly at nameplate (so 7.6 volts per 1 Hz). 460/60 = 7.66 volts per hert. I would still verify with the motor manufacturer that it is OK to use in the fashion you are planning, though.
