I am a EST in NZ and have just got my hands on a motor that is unusual in the fact it is a 1 phase motor with a cap but no centrifugal switch to take it offline.
I believe its a 2.2kw or so I was told. Main winding is 2.2 Ohms and Start Winding is 5.5 Ohms the Cap that came with it was grabbed of another motor.
It runs, and starts fine. I have only bench run it for less than a few minutes as there is no centrifugal switch (the cap came off a switched start winding) and I am reluctant to burn anything out.
I have absolutely no idea what size capacitor to buy for this motor and have no idea how to work it out. Especially in the fact it must be a permanent run type. The motor definitely needs it, it wont rotate without the Cap unless I help it along. Anyone have an idea on what I could use on this motor that wont burn out?
