How it works and how to install it
The capacitor connects in series with the auxiliary winding of the electric motor. At startup, it accumulates energy and releases it abruptly to overcome the rotor's initial inertia. Installation is done by connecting the two wires to the corresponding motor terminals — brown to phase, blue to neutral, or according to the equipment's electrical diagram. Always ensure complete disconnection from the mains before installation and observe the polarity indicated in the technical diagram.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the capacitor is faulty?
Common signs include the motor not starting, slow starts, loud noise, or frequent tripping. Test with a multimeter set to capacitance or replace the capacitor directly for quick diagnosis.
Can I use a capacitor with a larger or smaller capacity?
It is not recommended. An incorrect capacity causes motor overload or reduced performance. Always respect the value indicated by the equipment manufacturer.
Is it normal for it to get warm during operation?
Yes, slight warming is normal. If it gets hot or emits a burning smell, immediately disconnect and replace the capacitor.
