I am seeking assistance with my capacitor start AC motor.
Does "capacitor start" mean I need to add an external capacitor in the circuit?
If yes, what specs do I need to search for in a capacitor?
How do you calculate the capacitor needed?
Where do the two leads from the cap get connected? Between the two hot leads? Between the hot and ground?
Motor:
1HP, POWR KRAFT, 1725RPM, AC Capacitor Start Motor, Ball Bearing, 60 Cycle, 1 Phase, 40 degree rise,
Capable of 115V @ 14Amp, but wired fro 230V @ 7Amps.
Use: Old wood planer.
