why we used capacitor in induction motor?

Answer Posted / m s kumar

Since induction motors have inherently low power factor,
Capacitors are used to improve the power factor. In
fractional hp motors, they are used in the starting winding
to temporarily convert the motor into 2ph motor to make it
self starting

ii) A shunt motor supplied at 230V, runs at 900 rpm when the current is 30A. The resistance of the armature is 0.4 ohms. Calculate the resistance required in series with the armature to reduce the speed to 600 rpm, assuming that the armature current is then 20A. [12]
