Pretty much all decent sized electric motors have a start up capacitor. They need an extra bit of energy to build up the magnetic fields, overcome static friction and accelerate the motor up to the operating speed.
It should be noted that big capacitors can fuck you up bad if not discharged properly. It’s not hard, but you do need to be careful.
