Single-phase motor failures or malfunctions can often be traced to issues with the centrifugal switch, thermal switch, or capacitor(s). These problems can typically be fixed by servicing, repairing, ...

Single-phase ac motors are as ubiquitous as they are useful -- serving as prime power sources for a seemingly limitless array of small-horsepower applications in industry and home. Knowing how to ...

Troubleshooting single-phase compressors requires a technician to have a proficient understanding of capacitors. The run capacitor is one of two types of capacitors that could be found on single-phase ...

Potential or “voltage” relays are used with single-phase capacitor-start/capacitor-run motors, which need relatively high starting torque. Their main function is ...

A phase converter provides three-phase power from a single-phase source. Old-style mechanical converters use a hybrid motor/generator ... on the circuit boards on a metal panel in front of the ...

Single-phase motors require a starting capacitor and a centrifugal capacitor cutout switch ... by virtue of the three-phase rotation. So, if a three-phase motor blows in the opposite direction, you ...

A single-speed or permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor typically costs $425 to $510. Single-speed motors only have one speed setting, which means they’re less efficient than motors with ...

That, in turn, generates large vibration and noise. Nidec’s answer to this key impediment in AC to DC motor replacement: single-phase brushless DC motor that is lower in price than common AC motors ...
