Starting capacitors (starting capacitor): They are used to crank the motor when starting. They provide a temporary power boost that allows the motor to start with sufficient torque.
Running capacitors (running capacitor): These capacitors are active during normal operation of the motor and support the performance and efficiency of the motor.
