The capacitor motor - the concept
In comparison to the shaded-pole Motor, the capacitor motor has a better efficiency and generally also a higher starting torque. The basic concept of the capacitor motors essentially corresponds to that of the three-phase motors, especially with regard to the components used such as Rotor and Stator package. One difference between the three-phase motor and the classic capacitor motor is the structure of the winding, i.e. the distinction between the power winding and an auxiliary winding. As there is no phase shift from the mains as with three-phase current, operating capacitors are usually used which are connected in series with the auxiliary winding. This shifts the phase position of the current in the auxiliary winding, which leads to independent starting of the motor. A variant of the classic power/auxiliary winding is the three-phase winding with three symmetrical phases, which can simulate the rotating field of a capacitor motor when connected in a Steinmetz circuit.
Special voltages available on request
An operating capacitor is required to operate this motor, which Heidrive supplies as an option. The capacitor motor is available with 2, 4 or 8 poles and is characterised by its high reliability, maintenance-free operation and long durability. The numerous additional options for this motor are also particularly worth mentioning.
