Furnace motor run capacitor.

Its capacitor works like a battery and stores the energy needed by the blower to work properly. The start capacitor gives a fan motor the torque it needs to start spinning then stops. A start or run capacitor can be combined into one capacitor called a dual capacitor with three leads but can be split between two separate capacitors. Furnaces can fall into three categories when it comes to capacitors.

It saves space by combining two capacitors in one. Be sure to call your hvac professional. But with a bad capacitor your blower cannot function well and may put your family s comfort at risk.

While the run capacitor stays on giving the motor extra torque when needed. This will cause the motor to run slowly causing excess heat. A faulty capacitor will not be able to hold the charge necessary to run the blower motor properly. If you notice your furnace s motor cycling frequently you should test the capacitor.

The dual rated run capacitor is a continuous duty capacitor designed for use in air conditioning condenser units. Have only a single capacitor. Have two capacitors called a start and run capacitor. A bad or faulty capacitor can exhibit many signs and symptoms.

Some units do not use a capacitors to run the blower motor. If the capacitor isn t holding the charge needed to run the blower the blower may run slower and or hotter. Basic precautions need to be taken mainly turning the power off to the furnace as not to get shocked. Most modern day furnace blowers use permanent split capacitor motors.

The blower motor in your furnace blows hot air through the ducts and into your home. Excessive heat in the motor can cause the motor to malfunction. These do not have a start capacitor and rely only on a run capacitor to start the motor. The run capacitor is used with capacitor start run and permanent split capacitor psc motors.

Such permanent split capacitor blowers start slower and quieter than models with separate start and run capacitors.
