A capacitor is a passive component characterized by storing charges between the two poles. Three phase capacitors are capacitors used in three-phase circuits to improve power factor and reduce voltage distortion in the power grid. Single phase capacitors are capacitors used in single-phase circuits, mainly to compensate for leakage capacitance and improve power factor.

Single phase capacitors are capacitors used in single-phase circuits, mainly to compensate for leakage capacitance and improve power factor.
Three phase capacitors are usually composed of three identical capacitors, which are specially designed with uniform capacitance and inductance. However, single-phase capacitors usually only have one capacitor, and their structure is simpler than three-phase capacitors.
Three phase capacitors are mainly used in three-phase AC circuits, including motors, transformers, generators, etc. Its function is to increase power factor, thereby reducing power losses in power plants and transmission networks, while reducing voltage fluctuations and power losses in the power supply system. Single phase capacitors are mainly used in single-phase circuits, such as household electricity, office electricity, etc. Its function is to increase the power factor of the circuit by parallel capacitors, thereby reducing power loss in the power supply system.
Three phase capacitors usually have a larger capacitance, which can meet the needs of three-phase circuits. However, single-phase capacitors usually have smaller capacitance and can only meet the needs of single-phase circuits.
