So one is the voltage wave form from the incoming power and one is generated from the motor. So if I understand correctly If the voltage wave form from the motor and from the source are close together than there is not much torch. But if you put in a run cap then that pushes them further apart creating better torch.I guess you are referring to the photos VoodooMojo posted in this thread:

They are both voltage waveforms.
It would be a good idea to continue the discussion in the same thread; otherwise people will not know as to what photos you are referring to.
Ok, I think I am allmost there. The first wave form is a voltage wave form feeding the motor from a generator. The second wave form is the voltage wave form from the capacitor. Is this a 120 single phase example?nope,
the first wave in my photo is from the function generator, the second wave is from the cap circuit.
a motor will reap the benefits of the phase shift.
there is no motor connected in any of my photos.
