I need to understand clearly and independently What is it and how is a starting capacitor? and What is and how is a continuous work layer? There are two questions, please give me each answer separately, eg. A starting capacitor is ......... Y A continuous work layer is ......... Thanks in advance

Richard Believe it or not, it is a question only, since it is the construction it has, what makes the difference, to fulfill a different mission. Both capacitors can be similar abroad. Even, the capacity and tension can be equal. What sets them apart is the operating time of one and the other, regardless of ability and funsion. A starting capacitor serves only to function for the duration of the start and then must be disconnected. On the other hand, a working capacitor, allows to be in operation all the time, the main function is to improve the power factor of the equipment to which it is connected. Therefore, a working capacitor can replace without problems and do the work of a starter. [B] But the starter does not replace the function of the work capacitor [/b], since being its internal construction different, if it stays permanently connected, it will overheat and burst. The difference is in the specification inscribed in the condenser housing. The work may have "permanent" writing. There are motors that, due to their construction, have a running capacitor, permanently used in series in their starting winding and others that have a higher resistance starting winding, which is disconnected after starting, uses a starting capacitor. The image shows the position of a running capacitor and a starting capacitor. The capacitor to improve the power factor is connected to the motor supply. Indicate doubts to clarify them.

Hi Jose Miguel, regards Your video tutorial is very interesting, I want to ask you what function do those relays that you show in the video and those devices to measure the price they cost in dollars? thanks
