does it need a capacitor to run?

I checked the specs again on amazon--not mentioned. guessing here that fractional hp motors built for belt drive apps are internal capacitor. mine's on a lathe--bump the switch and it's on. for a g-door opener--check the specs on the old one if you have it. a lot of those--i think--are chain drive into a gear reduction unit. size of the door might determine the hp rating. also, this motor is split phase, meaning it can run clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on how it is wired. good luck to you and I hope this helps out.

No, unless you run it for a long time. I find it not powerful enough, but convenient as I have no counter space. Needs better instructions.

Yes...... not sure why you'd want to, but it runs just fine while plugged in.

Yes, if you have the power on, the fan will run. It is a bit loud, but the dehumidifier does and excellent job.

This motor does not need a capacitor. I used it as purchased to run an in ground pool pump. Hope this helps.

Hey thanks for the question. There is not a capacitor, the light requires pedaling to remain lit. They do however increase in brightness the faster you go.

The motor comes with the required capacitor to use with the motor. There may be an existing capacitor that is being shared by both the old motor and the compressor. If this is the case you would still need the old capacitor to run the compressor, but not the new motor as it has it own capacitor.

No. It runs on electric which can be somewhat of a pain if using it alone. It's got a lot of power and does an amazing job.

No, that is not how a capacitor works. It won't drain your battery if it stays on. The lights will auto off after so long of the car being off.

Do you mean you have the batteries out. It has to have batteries for it to run

No, it does not need to be running. I see there are several answers all look correct.

No it doesn't, but they are very inexpensive. Besides you won't need it once you've set its output.

Possibly. If you see what capacitors are bad then you can check what's included to see if it has the capacitors you need.

Yes. You would have to have an electrician wire in a capacitor!! Also single phase!! I have run mine from my car battery with a $30 converter!! Did this during a storm.

Yes, though with a bit of trickery. I installed a hard start capacitor in my Dometic AC unit. Without it, the generator would trip because of the high initial load. The hard start capacitor worked like magic.

It should be run through a relay. Unless you have a light switch and wireing that can handle the electrical load. Most switches are designed for low voltage and low amperage. Many LEDs may require less power to run but these light are very bright, create lots of heat and use more power then you think.

If you want it to run, you need to plug it in. Gone through two of them. Not level. Kind of cheap.
