Why does need capacitor in motors?
How does the power factor affect the performance of the motor and why is the capacitor important in this aspect?
The power factor is the ratio of real power to apparent power in an electrical system. A low power factor can negatively affect the performance and efficiency of the motor. The capacitor helps to correct the power factor by providing reactive power, which helps to balance out the system's reactive power and improve efficiency.
