FUNCTIONS OF HVAC MASTER RUNNING CAPACITOR:
1. Helps the motor run continuously (running):
* This capacitor provides an energy boost while the motor is operating, not just at startup.
* Ensures the motor keeps running smoothly and doesn’t “stall.”
2. Stabilizes electrical current:
* Stores and releases energy consistently to prevent voltage fluctuations that could damage the motor.
3. Reduces energy consumption:
* With the capacitor’s assistance, the motor doesn’t need to work as hard — making it more energy-efficient.
4. Extends motor lifespan:
* A motor running with stable voltage and less strain will last longer.
5. Used for motors such as:
* Compressor (compressor capacitor)
* Blower motor
* Fan motor
(Example: outdoor fan, indoor blower in air conditioners)
