Split-phase motor running as capacitor starts motor and as capacitor run motor.ISSN 1583-1078http://repository.futminna.edu.ng:4000/handle/123456789/1938parameters of a single phase split-phase induction motor is taken to investigate and to study the output performance characteristics of capacitor start and capacitor run induction motorIn this paper, the input parameters of a single phase split-phase induction motor is taken to investigate and to study the output performance characteristics of capacitor start and capacitor run induction motor. The value of these input parameters are used in the design characteristics of capacitor run and capacitor start motor with each motor connected to rated or standard capacitor in series with auxiliary winding or starting winding respectively for the normal operational condition. The magnitude of capacitor that will develop maximum torque in capacitor start motor and capacitor run motor are investigated and determined by simulation. Each of these capacitors is connected to the auxiliary winding of split-phase motor thereby transforming it into capacitor start or capacitor run motor. The starting current and starting torque of the split-phase motor (SPM), capacitor run motor (CRM) and capacitor star motor (CSM) are compared for their suitability in their operational performance and applicationsenAuxiliary windingCapacitor start motorCapacitor run motorMaximum torqueSplit-phase motorStandard capacitorStarting currentStarting torqueArticle
