The use of a capacitor-start, capacitor-run motor typically provides what advantage?

A capacitor-start, capacitor-run motor is designed to improve performance characteristics, particularly in applications requiring high starting torque. The advantage is attributed to the use of a capacitor that is connected temporarily during the startup phase, providing an additional phase of power to increase the motor's starting torque. This design allows the motor to start more effectively under heavy load conditions compared to standard single-phase motors, which typically rely solely on winding inductance for starting.

This improved starting torque is essential in applications such as air conditioning and refrigeration systems, where the compressor motor needs to overcome inertia and start efficiently despite heavy loads. While other options may seem appealing, they do not encapsulate the primary benefit that characterizes the operation and effectiveness of a capacitor-start, capacitor-run motor in practical HVACR applications.
