  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. Inrush current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inrush_current

    A discharged or partially charged capacitor appears as a short circuit to the source when the source voltage is higher than the potential of the capacitor. A fully discharged capacitor will take approximately 5 RC time periods to fully charge; during the charging period, instantaneous current can exceed steady-state current by a substantial ...

  4. Capacitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor

    To start the motor, a secondary "start" winding has a series non-polarized starting capacitor to introduce a lead in the sinusoidal current. When the secondary (start) winding is placed at an angle with respect to the primary (run) winding, a rotating electric field is created.

  5. Capacitor discharge ignition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_discharge_ignition

    First, the system voltage is raised to 250 to 600 volts by a power supply inside the CDI module. Then, the electric current flows to the charging circuit and charges the capacitor. The rectifier inside the charging circuit prevents capacitor discharge before the moment of ignition. When the triggering circuit receives the triggering signal, the ...

  6. Centrifugal switch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_switch

    A variation of the centrifugal switch used a changeover contact to ensure that the auxiliary windings remain in the circuit through a running capacitor. These motors are called two-value or capacitor start capacitor run motors. Centrifugal switches are found in many clothes dryers, supplying power to the motor in parallel with the start switch ...

    to test series and interpoles (commutating) fields from a DC motor; to determine phasing and polarity in multiwinding armatures; to test rotors in rotating frequency changers, as well as in wound rotors; to test shorts between turns in taped coils before installation into an armature or a stator; as a low voltage isolation transformer

  8. Capacitance meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance_meter

    A capacitance meter is a piece of electronic test equipment used to measure capacitance, [1] mainly of discrete capacitors. Depending on the sophistication of the meter, it may display the capacitance only, or it may also measure a number of other parameters such as leakage, equivalent series resistance (ESR), and inductance.

  9. In-circuit testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-circuit_testing

    While in-circuit test is a very powerful tool for testing PCBs, it has these limitations: Parallel components can often only be tested as one component if the components are of the same type (i.e. two resistors); though different components in parallel may be testable using a sequence of different tests - e.g. a DC voltage measurement versus a measurement of AC injection current at a node.
