- I'm trying to come up with a solution to eliminate the starting torque (twist) of a small 120vac 0.3amp PMAC motor. Similar, in effect, to how a start capacitor slowly starts an induction motor. Motor has a 4" fan blade attached and I want to suspend it from a flexible cord, but eliminate the twisting motion when started. Label on motor doesn't have it listed, but is approx 18watts. Alternate (compact design) ideas also appreciated.
