The capacitance of a run capacitor is smaller than that of a start capacitor because

  • A.the run capacitor is of electrolytic rather than film construction
  • B.the running current is very much larger than the starting current
  • C.less phase displacement is needed once the machine is running
  • D.a larger capacitance would be too cheap to be worth fitting

Answer: C

Correct answer: less phase displacement is needed once the machine is running

Starting needs the largest possible displacement and therefore a large capacitance, while running needs only enough to improve the power factor and smooth the torque. The run capacitor is correspondingly smaller - typically a tenth or less of the start value - and this is why a capacitor start capacitor run machine has both.
