Best Answer

There are 2 types of capacitor including starting capacitor and running capacitor

running capacitor are used to improve the power factor of motor.

starting capacitor used in split phase induction motor . starting capacitor may isolate from motor,s starting winding through of centrifugal switch after getting motor 90% of it,s rated speed.
