Starting Performance Analysis of Single-Phase Capacitor Motor Using Finite Element Method

Abstract

This paper presents the starting performance analysis of the single-phase capacitor motorand the effect of motor capacitor on the starting performance. The analysis approach is basedon 2-D finite element method for the transient case, with the software (ANSYS V.8). Thevalidity of the proposed analysis method is verified by experimental values which are foundto be in good agreement.
