-
Maintaining Smooth Operation:Once the motor is running, the capacitor helps to smooth out the electrical current, ensuring consistent and efficient operation. This prevents the motor from stalling or experiencing performance issues due to voltage fluctuations.
-
Types of Capacitors:Gate operator capacitors can be categorized as either start capacitors or run capacitors.
- Start capacitors: are used to provide the initial surge of power needed to get the motor rotating.
- Run capacitors: help to maintain consistent motor performance during operation.
- Start capacitors: are used to provide the initial surge of power needed to get the motor rotating.
-
Common Applications:Capacitors are used in various gate operator systems, including:
