<P> A motor capacitor , such as a start capacitor or run capacitor ( including a dual run capacitor ) is an electrical capacitor that alters the current to one or more windings of a single phase AC induction motor to create a rotating magnetic field . There are two common types of motor capacitors , run capacitors and start capacitors . The units of capacitance are labeled in microfarads ( μF ) . Older capacitors may be labeled with the obsolete terms `` mfd '' , which means microfarad and `` MFD '' means millifarad . </P>
