What Is a Run Capacitor?

About Run Capacitor:
A run capacitor is a device that stores energy and then releases it when it's needed. This helps to keep the motors running in your air conditioning system and keeps your home cool.
The most important function of a run capacitor is to provide the initial jolt to start the compressor, fan and blower motors. Without the run capacitor, these motors can't turn and your AC unit won't operate properly.
