Shunt resistor divides current between ammeter and measurement device. High precision manganin resistor with low resistance used. Maximum amperage theoretically endless, limited by measurement device voltage. Current calculation: I = V/R
Motor capacitors alter current to create rotating magnetic field for single-phase motors. Start capacitors lag voltage to rotor windings, creating phase shift. Run capacitors energize auxiliary coil while motor is running. Dual run capacitors support both fan and compressor motors
Converts both halves of each waveform cycle using four diodes. Uses two diodes for each half-cycle with a center tapped transformer. Produces output voltage twice that of half-wave rectifier. Average output voltage is about 0.637Vmax. Requires larger transformer for given power output
Capacitors store electric charge in electronic circuits. Capacitors can be arranged in series or parallel. Series arrangement results in lower capacitance values
Horizontal or vertical multiport tubes available in single or multiple pass designs. Vertical tubes enhance operation and prevent oil return issues. Lower header serves as mini-receiver for easier system charging. Integral baffle ensures proper coil operation and liquid refrigerant return
Capacitors store electrical charge between two or more conducting plates. Dielectric material separates plates, blocking DC current flow. Capacitance is measured in Farads (F), with sub-units like micro- and nano-farads
