Description
The Copeland 914-0008-74 Start Capacitor in HVAC systems where it is used to help the compressor motors start easily and with certainty is crucial. A start capacitor stores electrical energy and transfers it to the compressor motor at startup, as its name suggests. This makes it create initial torque for overcoming inertia and initiating rotation smoothly. It has capacitance range of 72-86µF at 330 VAC making it applicable for high electrical need HVAC systems. Upon turning on compressor, start capacitor provides voltage improve to motor winding for achieving needed startup torque briefly. With motor reaching operational speed, capacitor’s role reduces as motor progresses.
