  2. Motor capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_capacitor

    A typical motor start capacitor. A motor capacitor [1] [2] is an electrical capacitor that alters the current to one or more windings of a single-phase alternating-current induction motor to create a rotating magnetic field. [citation needed] There are two common types of motor capacitors, start capacitor and run capacitor (including a dual run ...

  3. Dissipation factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissipation_factor

    The loss tangent is defined by the angle between the capacitor's impedance vector and the negative reactive axis. If the capacitor is used in an AC circuit, the dissipation factor due to the non-ideal capacitor is expressed as the ratio of the resistive power loss in the ESR to the reactive power oscillating in the capacitor, or

    Leads separated from the capacitor by rough handling during storage, assembly or operation, leading to an open failure. The failure can occur invisibly inside the packaging and is measurable. [2] Increase of dissipation factor due to contamination of capacitor materials, particularly from flux and solvent residues. [2]

  6. Capacitor plague - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague

    Failed aluminium electrolytic capacitors with open vents in the top of the can, and visible dried electrolyte residue (reddish-brown color) The capacitor plague was a problem related to a higher-than-expected failure rate of non-solid aluminium electrolytic capacitors between 1999 and 2007, especially those from some Taiwanese manufacturers, [1] [2] due to faulty electrolyte composition that ...

  7. Applications of capacitors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_capacitors

    There are also capacitor-run induction motors which have a permanently connected phase-shifting capacitor in series with a second winding. The motor is much like a two-phase induction motor. Motor-starting capacitors are typically non-polarized electrolytic types, while running capacitors are conventional paper or plastic film dielectric types.

  8. Intermittent fault - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fault

    Intermittent faults are common to all branches of technology, including computer software. An intermittent fault is caused by several contributing factors, some of which may be effectively random, which occur simultaneously. The more complex the system or mechanism involved, the greater the likelihood of an intermittent fault.
