Why Not to Connect Polarized Capacitors Directly to DC Motors
- Polarized capacitors (like electrolytic types) can only handle one voltage polarity.
- If a DC motor runs in both directions (CW and CCW), the voltage across its terminals reverses.
- This reverse polarity damages polarized capacitors, causing:
- Overheating
- Leaking
- Short circuits
- Power supply shutdowns
✅ Safer Alternatives
- Use non-polarized capacitors (e.g., ceramic 0.1–1 µF) directly across the motor terminals.
- Use polarized capacitors only on the power input side of the motor driver, where polarity is stable.
