Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] What is the proper way to wire a 3 wire synchronous motor

2017-01-06 by Donald H Locker

The capacitor provides a shift in phase of the excitation to one set of the motor's windings relative to the other windings. This provides a rotating magnetic field which the rotor "follows."
