I like this video for 2 reasons: 1.) Very useful and interesting lifecycle charts showing how one could increase the life of a capacitor by carefully controlling it's environment. 2.) A helpful tip on how to discharge a capacitor safely (for you & for the capacitor too). The rest of the video was less than useful, and yes I know it's an "industrial training" clip, but it's still quite limited. Check out Collin Cunningham's (of Make fame) video on capacitors for a much closer look.
I always thought when the phase shift occurs( voltage leads current) on an induction motor that your power decreases and that the run capacitor aligns the current and voltage to produce maximum power to start the motor and stays in the circuit to maintain efficiency of the motor.
Since UA-cam didn't let me post the link, here are the exact search terms you can use to pinpoint the video I mentioned above, just search UA-cam for: MAKE presents: The Capacitor
I have never heard of a single phase squirrel cage induction motor...i have heard of a single phase induction motor.. And a squirrel cage blower.. As much as I wish I was joking I am not... I know single phase is going to be residential...i have worked on 3 phase commercial equipment.. I just want to know why he said it the way he did.. I do not like to assume anything and want any gaps in understanding things. I appreciate any help.. Even sarcastic if it still makes me understand it..
Ye same idea, continuity would be a continuous or closed loop, ol would be a break in that loop therefore open loop. I guess one could call it over limit in the sense that you wouldnt get a reading, it would be infinity. I guess infinity symbol was hard to program into earlier digital multimeters so they used OL or I or 1 instead.

This was VERY informative! I just added it to my favorites list!
Took a while to find this but this is the info i needed.
Nice job on training video- We have added it to our blog!
no mention made of E S R equivalent series resistance
capacity can check OK but high esr will give low power
Outstanding instructional tutorial!

You are greats!!! I was looking a lot of time for an explanation like this. Thank you very much!
I am an amature studend very good capacitor videos .if I have a bad capacitor can I make that capacitor work with a start capacitor
OL is not overload ... its outside limit

Thank you for an easy understanding video.
Real nice. Better than I had.
Excellent information, thank you
EXCELLENT VIDEO !
Excellent information, thank you.
Excellent information, thank you
nice hope you will make more vids
Well done training video.
Thanks for giving info more power. :)

I think that OL means Over Limit...of range
+Mohamed Nizam Mohamed Nifal OL means open loop

I guess one could call it over limit in the sense that you wouldnt get a reading, it would be infinity. I guess infinity symbol was hard to program into earlier digital multimeters so they used OL or I or 1 instead.
OL = Open Line or Over Load

excellent information,thanks.

One suggestion: have a really hot girl do the narration. Seriously. I had to fight the nod on your informative vid.
