electricpy.motorstartcap(V, I, freq=60)[source]

Single Phase Motor Starting Capacitor Function.

Function to evaluate a reccomended value for the startup capacitor associated with a single phase motor.

Parameters:
  • V (float) – Magnitude of motor terminal voltage in volts.

  • I (float) – Magnitude of motor no-load current in amps.

  • freq (float, optional) – Motor/System frequency, default=60.

Returns:

C – Suggested capacitance in Farads.

Return type:
