The Two-Value Capacitor Motor is fitted with a running capacitor and two running windings that are independently terminated to facilitate experimentation of various machine connections and to allow operation from a two-phase source of power. The design of this machine has been optimized so that the machine operates like a two-phase motor at full load when connected to a single-phase source.

The motor is supplied with a silk-screened faceplate showing the motor connections and a twelve-pin connector to fit with the Motor Terminal Module, Model 3171-2.
