Someone was talking about a capacitive start motor today, and this caught my interest.
From what I understand, it basically uses a capacitor in order to help get it started. This is used in situations where a large torque is required to get it going.
Here is my question. Once it's started, what happens to the capacitor? Does it stay connected? Is it disconnected via a relay after a certain time period, etc...?
Thanks.
