Motor capacitors

(3)

Capacitors are passives used for accumulating electrical charge. As far as their enclosures are concerned, they consist of 2 plates (conductors) separated by dielectric material (insulator). Capacitance (C), expressed in farads, is the main parameter used to describe capacitors. These components are distinguished depending on their usage and construction materials. They also include motor capacitors, which can be successfully applied in systems fitted with electric motors. In addition to capacitance, it is also significant to consider their function. There are capacitors intended for continuous run together with the engine, and the ones that are used during the start-up. The former can work simultaneously with the engine and improve the power factor, and the latter (usually having high capacitance) are used while the engine starts-up and later on have to be disconnected from the system. Bad choice of the operating conditions may lead to damage of capacitors and other components.

Motor capacitors available at TME

Transfer Multisort Elektronik electric wholesale store offers over 250 models of motor capacitors with capacitances from 0.68 to 262µF. Capacitors of various sizes are made of polypropylene. With our search engine filters, you can select the products depending on the method of mounting, operating temperature, voltage and tolerance. While choosing a particular product, check if a given capacitor is designed for continuous run or start-up only. TME distributes components from such manufacturers as Ducati Energia, Miflex, Kemet and SR Passives. Each product has its own catalogue sheet and prices depending on a size of an order.
