A squirrel cage induction motor must sense two or more electric phases to cause the magnetic field to start spinning, thus turning the motor’s rotor and shaft. Once the motor starts, the interaction ...

Correctly installing capacitors at the terminals of your motors can lower reactive power requirements and increase system power factor. Induction motors are the primary source of rotary power in the ...

The CBB60B dry-construction capacitors suit electric motor and other ac applications. Made using metallized polypropylene film, the capacitors come in values from 1 to 120 µF in voltage ratings of 250 ...

The PSC motor uses a capacitor and has good running efficiency. When a PSC motor is used in compressors, it makes use of two capacitors attached to its wiring. The first one serves as a start ...

The diameters of the new series range from 25 to 40 mm at insertion heights of 58 to 120 mm. The new types are designed for rated voltages of 400 and 450 V AC and cover a capacitance range from 2 to ...

In fact, both capacitors are wired in series with the start winding and in parallel with the run winding. The run capacitor limits the current that will pass through the start winding when the motor ...

Toyota has revealed the full powertrain details of the Yaris Hybrid-R concept that it teased a few weeks ago. The intriguing concept uses a 420-hp 4WD driveline that's derived from racing. In an ...

Mazda released details Friday of its new "i-ELOOP" (Intelligent Energy Loop) regenerative braking system - the first system to use a capacitor to store and release energy. The automaker claims the new ...

Variable capacitors may be useful, but the air gap that provides their capacitance is their greatest weakness. Rather than deal with the poor dielectric properties of air, some high-end variable ...
