Question

The starting capacitor of a single-phase induction motor is the-

A.

Electrolytic capacitor

B.

Ceramic capacitor

C.

Timer capacitor

D.

Mica capacitor

E.

Both paper and mica capacitors

Correct option is A

A single-phase induction motor uses a starting capacitor to create a phase difference between the currents in its main and auxiliary windings, allowing the motor to start. Electrolytic capacitors are often used for this purpose due to their ability to store large amounts of energy in a relatively small size. They are designed for short bursts of high current, which is exactly what is needed during motor startup.
