Start Capacitor Selection Guide

Overview Start vs. Run Capacitors Start capacitors give a large capacitance value necessary for motor starting for a very short (seconds long) period of time. They are only intermittent duty and will fail catastrophically if energized too long. Run capacitors are used for continuous voltage and current control to a motor''s windings and are therefore continuous duty.

How does a run capacitor value affect the motor?

A run capacitor helps a motor run more efficiently, while a start capacitor helps the motor to start up faster (which can save energy). The difference between them is that a run capacitor is constantly engaged in running the compressor, while a start capacitor only engages when the compressor first turns on.
