AI Customer ServiceYes they fail, but most from simply being poor designs, the capacitor value going low is the most common killer, but a high capacitor will also kill the motor as well, but they run for a long time, with much higher voltages across the capacitor that self heals it faster. Re:
A run capacitor is an energy-saving device that is in the motor circuit at all times. If a run capacitor fails, the motor can display a variety of problems including not starting, overheating, and vibrating. A bad run capacitor deprives the motor of the full voltage it needs to operate correctly.
The reason why the starting capacitor is burned out is not common, as its working time is very short. It is only activated during starting, and no current flows through it at that moment, making it difficult for it to burn out.
The selected capacitor capacity is too small, and the starting current exceeds the allowable value of the capacitor, resulting in potential damage to the secondary winding of the motor and the capacitor itself. (3) There is always current through the capacitor, and this condition, along with other factors, can cause the capacitor and motor to burn within a certain period of time. (4) The motor may also be bored or the bearing damaged.
A bad run capacitor deprives the motor of the full voltage it needs to operate correctly. Both start and run capacitors are made the same way, but run capacitors are much more heavy-duty than start capacitors since a run capacitor is always used when the motor is running.
Once the motor is started, the capacitor is thrown off by the centrifugal switch, and only the main winding works at this time. The secondary winding is left unused. After the motor is started, double-capacitor single-phase motors appeared in order to improve their efficiency.
