My dad has removed both the start and run capacitors on his 6.5 hp ac motor but due to previous strokes and health problems his sketch didn't match when he tried to put the 6 wires back on. I went and checked and the new cap he bought checks good (run cap) and the start cap checks good but I tried several different ways and can get it to start and run un til it is charged with air pressure then it will not start back up it trips off the protective breaker. so it appears that the starting cap is not wired correctly. to save a lot of trial and error I was wondering if someone had any pics of theirs so i can see the wire colors?
the model of the ac motor is magnetek century ac motor model # 8-186372-01 3450 rpm.
right now I have an orange and white wire on the run cap (which has the lower capacitance value ) don't remember but maybe 30 micro farad.
on the starting cap there are 4 wires a white, blue,blk,and red.
since I never saw it before he disassembled it it may have 3 wires on each cap I can't find any wiring diagrams anywhere? HELP pleas!
the compressor is a coleman powermate model # cv6548049 80 gal 6.5 hp
I did pull the back motor end off and internally there is a starting centrifugal switch that has a white wire on one side contact and a red on the other side, this should kic out the starting cap once the motor is spinning---It appears??? answer to james69z28@aol.com Thanks for the help.
