CAPACITOR START‒CAPACITOR RUN INDUCTION MOTOR

 

This motor is identical to a capacitor‒start motor except the fact that the starting winding is not opened after starting so that both the windings remain connected to the supply when running as well as at starting. Two designs are generally used.

(i) In one design, a single capacitor C is used for both starting and running as shown in Fig. 5.30 (i). The design eliminates the need of a centrifugal switch and at the same time improve the power factor and efficiency of the motor.

(ii) In the other design, two capacitors C1 and C2 are used in the starting winding as shown in Fig. 5.30. (ii). The smaller capacitor C1 required for optimum running conditions is permanently connected in series with the starting winding. The much larger capacitor C2 is connected in parallel with C1 for optimum starting and remains in the circuit during starting. The starting capacitor C2 is disconnected when the motor approaches about 75% of synchronous speed. The motor then runs as a single‒phase induction motor.


 

Characteristics of capacitor‒start capacitor run motors are,

 

1. The starting winding and the capacitor can be designed for perfect 2‒phase operation at any load. The motor then produces a constant torque and not a pulsating torque as in other single‒phase motors.

2. Because of constant torque, the motor is vibration free
