Transcript excerpt from an instructional HVAC video explaining three simple AC components: the contactor, the run capacitor, and a compressor saver/add-on. The speaker describes how the contactor’s low-voltage coil creates a magnetic field to close contacts and permit high-voltage power to the compressor and fan, and explains that the run capacitor helps the compressor and fan start and maintain speed.
So these have very minimal components. So this would be the contactor, this would be the capacitor and this would be the compressor saver or it's an add on. The contactor operates both low and high voltage. The low voltage, when the thermostat tells it that I need you to operate, it closes the coil in which create a magnetic field and pulls in the contact. And once it closes, it allows the high voltage to pass through. We go to the compressor and the fan to operate the the compressor and the con, the capacitor. What this does, this is a run capacitor. It has two purpose. It assists the compressor and the fan in starting and maintaining the speed. Now.
