OT. Phase converters

May 26, 2016 3 Replies

What is the purpose for the resistors on the capacitors in a rotary phase converter? Some are soldered directly to the capacitor contacts and would be connected to the incoming power lines.


They are to help balance the voltages between phases .

Hmmm...I just installed a new one; didn't notice any resistors on the cap's. Have to go inspect... :)
