  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. Electrostatic motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_motor

    An electrostatic motor or capacitor motor is a type of electric motor based on the attraction and repulsion of electric charge. An alternative type of electrostatic motor is the spacecraft electrostatic ion drive thruster where forces and motion are created by electrostatically accelerating ions.

  4. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    Parallel plate capacitor model consists of two conducting plates, each of area A, separated by a gap of thickness d containing a dielectric. A surface-mount capacitor. The plates, not visible, are layered horizontally between ceramic dielectric layers, and connect alternately to either end-cap, which are visible.

  5. Capacitor types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_types

    Sending a limited current through the capacitor repairs oxide layers damaged during the period of disuse. The applied voltage is lower than or equal to the capacitor's rated voltage. Current may be limited using, for instance, a series resistor. Pre-conditioning is stopped once leakage current is below some acceptable level at the desired voltage.

  6. Capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance

    A common form is a parallel-plate capacitor, which consists of two conductive plates insulated from each other, usually sandwiching a dielectric material. In a parallel plate capacitor, capacitance is very nearly proportional to the surface area of the conductor plates and inversely proportional to the separation distance between the plates.

  7. AC motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC_motor

    Schematic of a capacitor start motor. A capacitor start motor is a split-phase induction motor with a starting motor capacitor inserted in series with the startup winding, creating an LC circuit which produces a greater phase shift (and so, a much greater starting torque) than both split-phase and shaded pole motors. This motor has a ...

  8. Parasitic capacitance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parasitic_capacitance

    They act like the plates of a capacitor, and store charge. Any change in the voltage across the coil requires extra current to charge and discharge their small capacitances. When the voltage changes only slowly, as in low-frequency circuits, the extra current is usually negligible, but when the voltage changes quickly the extra current is ...
