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 ...

The size of a capacitor affects how much charge it can store (its capacitance), its voltage rating, and its physical ...

As an electric motor’s rotor turns in close proximity to the motor windings, a bucking voltage or back electromotive force (EMF) is generated. The back EMF (BEMF) generated across the start winding is ...

Single-phase motors are common in many industries and can be found in blowers, pumps, fans, lathes, and numerous other types of equipment. Single-phase motor failures or malfunctions can often be ...

The QPC series of AC motor run capacitors feature locking push-wire terminals that speed installation and eliminate soldering. A metal mounting bracket also speeds assembly. Standard values range from ...

Part of Vishay Sprague's Tantamount tantalum capacitor family, the TH3 molded solid tantalum chip capacitors offer high reliability and high-temperature capability. Part of Vishay Sprague's Tantamount ...
