It is true that the capacitor will reduce wasted watts. However, these wasted watts will be in the power delivery system not in the motor. The reduction in losses in the supply line will improve the voltage levels and this will in turn reduce the current required by the motor and this will in...
Previous post suggests motor will run cooler with capacitors. This is not really true. The motor power factor cannot be changed it is a function of design and interaction between coils etc.. The capacitors will change the power factor of the system but not of the motor. The system current...
