The Effects of a capacitor to Generators...(MCG/Tech June 2024)... Input capacitors used for filtering purpose cause pure apparent power to flow between the supply and the UPS. Extreme temperatures, either too hot or too cold, can influence generator capacitor performance... capacitor on a generator works by storing excess electrical energy and then releasing it when needed. This helps to smooth out the power ...The capacitor has two functions; it induces voltage into the rotor as well as regulates voltage. A bad capacity will result in a low voltage reading from the stator... When these capacitors start to go bad, you will generally notice poor voltage regulation for a bit before they go.completely...Without the capacitor. The coil won't produce a sine wave voltage output. .The 200 volt capacitor likely failed because when rectified 160 volts gives a peak of around 226 volts. Cheap low grade capacitors dont last of Expected so its adviced you dont purches it....Example of PF Correction with Capacitor. Before correction PF = 100/142 = 0.70 of 70%. After correction PF = 100/105 = 0.95 of 95%......To increase the speed of the generator, the capastor Unit should be reduced (eg: from 45uf to 25uf). but it will also result yo low output voltage..
