Hard start kits would have what components?

Hard start kits are specifically designed to assist in starting motors, particularly those with high starting torque requirements, such as air conditioning compressors. The correct components of a hard start kit typically include a potential relay and a start capacitor.

The potential relay functions as a switch to disconnect the start capacitor from the circuit once the motor has reached a certain speed, effectively helping to avoid overheating and potential damage after the start-up phase. The start capacitor provides an extra surge of voltage to the motor at the time of starting, contributing to a more reliable and smoother start-up. This enhanced starting ability is particularly critical in situations where energy efficiency and effective operation are paramount, such as in air conditioning and refrigeration systems.

In contrast, options referring to new motors with different voltage and amperage requirements or alternate components like a 230 Volt relay and capacitors, or different tubes and gauges do not accurately describe the intended purpose and composition of a hard start kit.
