Abstract
The effect of the value of running capacitor on the performance of a single-phase induction motor is studied through the evaluation of the efficiency, power factor and vibration of the machine for different values of this capacitor choosing unsuitable value of the running capacitor worsen the performance of the motor and it may even damage the motor as a consequence of increasing auxiliary winding current. In this research, a computer program has been developed for finding an optimum running capacitor for the induction motor. Experimental results has been obtained in the laboratory and compared with the computer results for validation. The effect of the running capacitor on motor vibration has also been obtained and measured. Although this study was performed on a certain two-phase induction motor, the same developed computer program may be used to obtain the optimum value of the running capacitor for any single phase IM of known parameters.
