I have never come across a three phase capacitor start motor. Any three phase motors I have worked on are induction start.

What is run capacitor in single phase motor starter with three wire?
A run capacitor and a starter capacitor are not the same thing. A run capacitor is energized the entire time the motor is running, and a start capacitor is not. A run capacitor is one that changes the current on the windings of a single phase AC induction motor to create a rotating magnetic field to energize a second-phase winding. A start capacitor increases starting torque, allowing a motor to be turned on rapidly. It stays in the circuit only long enough to bring the motor to 3/4 of full speed. Some motors then continue to run with a run capacitor.
How do you start a three phase motor to a single phase power supply?
You don't. A three phase motor will not start unless it is connected to a three phase supply.
Applications of induction motor?
A single phase induction motor is mainly used in fans.It is capacitor start capacitor run induction motor.In three phase induction motor squirrel cage induction motor is mainly used in elevators,lifts,cranes.slip ring induction motor is mainly used in electrically driven ships.
Why does a single phase synchronous motor need a capacitor but for a three phase motor it is not required?
A three-phase motor has a rotating magnetic field inside that is set up by the supply, so the armature always rotates in the correct direction. A single-phase motor can in principle start either way so it has a starting winding supplied through a capacitor to provide a small component of rotating field to get it started the right way. After it has picked up speed the starting winding can be switched out.
What is function of run capacitor?
Start and run capacitors are normally used in AC motors to aid in starting and running efficiency. Both capacitors are wired in series with the start winding of the motor. The reason they are not both called start capacitors is that the start capacitor gives the motor more torque to overcome the fact that it is at standstill, and then automatically disconnects itself from the circuit. The run capacitor gives the motor better running efficiency and remains part of the circuit, it is therefore called the run capacitor. Three phase motors are able to start more effectively due to the nature of three phase power. These capacitors will likely be found in single phase AC motors. This is because a single phase AC source rises and falls from zero, in a three phase source the second phase sine wave starts going upward before the first phase wave has a chance to fall completely to zero. Thus a three phase motor spends more time per cycle at its rated voltage than the single phase motor, and has an easier time starting instantaneously.
Why capacitors are not used in three phase motor?
There is no need. The three-phase supply provides a rotating field in the motor, rotating in the right direction, so there is no need for a starting capacitor.
Can a 3 phase slip ring motor start when its one resistance or phase is open?
A three phase motor will not start if one phase leg is open.
What is the use of capacitor in three phase induction motor?
Only Single phase induction motors need capacitor to star it, because of single phase. With the help of capacitor in the starting winding circuit it is easy to create rotating magnetic field inside motor which is responsible for running of motor.
Is three phase induction motor continue running when any of the two phase is disconnected?
This question doesn't really make any sense - any of the two phase? A three phase induction motor requires 3 phases to start - if a single phase is lost while the motor is already running then yes the motor will continue to run. A three phase motor will not start if it is missing a phase.
Are any capacitor in three phase induction motor?
There doesn't have to be but capacitors are sometimes used to correct the power factor.
How do you start three phase induction motor?
Three Phase Induction Motor is self starting motor so you can start it by conneting to power lines directly if the power line capacity is sufficient.
When are Capacitors used with single phase motors?
The capacitor is used to produce a phase shift to create a rotating magnetic field so the motor will start turning. 3-phase motors do not need one because of the phase difference inherent between the phases.While a capacitor connected external to the motor does affect the power factor of the overall system (as mentioned below), an internal start capacitor is not used for that reason in a single-phase motor.Another answerThere is inductive reactance and capacitive reactance. (Look these terms up, it is good stuff). Think of them as opposites in a sense. The operation of the induction motor is inefficient in a power factor sense due to electro magnetic field properties that affect the power factor in an inductive sense. The capacitor is an "offset" to the inductive reactance which, when sized accordingly, affects the power factor as a correction towards unity.
