ELECTROLYTIC MOTOR START CAPACITORS
   
1 Capac. type 04P - 2 End cap - 3 Metal bracket: Four different mounting positions for capacitors size 3 and 4 - One position for size 5 and 6. See dimensions table 1 in the next page.

APPLICATIONS
The FACON AC. motor start capacitors are non-polar aluminium electrolytic capacitors designed for intermittent AC. duty, more specifically, the starting of small AC. motors.
Other applications:
- Filtering alternating current (for ex: soldering units) - f £ 20 KHz
- Filtering V.DC with high superimposed V.AC - f £ 1 KHz
- Continuous voltage with reversed polarity
- On request, some values can be used under continuous V.AC £ 48 V - f = 50 £ ÷ 20.000 Hz - see enclosure 3/A
      
MANUFACTURING
These capacitors are interely realized with plastic case and assembled with automatic machines to guarantee a costant quality. Facon Type 04P. capacitors are normally supplied with end cup and double faston terminals (6.3 x 0.8 mm.). On request: simple faston, bipolar cable, discharge resistance, metal mounting bracket for capacitors size 3, 4, 5 - fixing stud M8x10 mm. for capacitors size C, D, E.
       
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS
See tables 2) 3) and enclosure 1/A.
   
MEASUREMENTS
Using the circuit shown, apply rated voltage to the capacitor and measure current and dissipated power. Current will be measured after 2 ÷ 3 seconds, dissipated power within 3 seconds after application of rated voltage. Capacitance and power factor must be calculed with the wollowing formula:
where: C = capacitance in µ F -  I = current in amperes -  p = constant 3.14 -   f = frequency in hertz  -     
V = applied voltage -  PF = power factor  -  W = dissipated power in Watts
Note: to have the right measurements is required a special type of instruments.
