Description
The York S1-024-36283-000 Start Capacitor is an essential component of single-phase air conditioning and HVAC system applications, especially those that use hermetic reciprocating compressors. This capacitor supplies the amount of current needed to start the compressor motor at startup. During the start-up of the system, the start with the start winding of the motor temporarily. This builds a phase shift in the current which produces rotating magnetic field which is starts the motor. When the motor attains a certain speed, the start capacitor is shunted out by a centrifugal switch. This kind of start capacitor is essential in determining the efficiency and reliability of the HVAC system.
