Morning,
I have a fraction hp motor with intergral gearbox that I would like to use for a project.
The motor rating plate is:
Frame: P335
Winding: PC (could that be permanent capacitor?)
Voltage: 230
Torque: 5lb in
Speed: 100rpm
There is no power output but based on the size it can't be more that 150W?
There are four wires coming from the motor housing. Two black wires and two brown. A black and brown have been connected to a terminal block and appear to be Live and Neutral. The other Black and Brown wire have been bridged out and there is a 1.5uF 440V Capacitor on the side of the motor that is not connected as the leads have broken off flush with the resin filling.
When 230V is applied to the "live and neutral" the motor just hums.
Two questions are then;
Is it reasonable to assume that the bridged black and brown are in fact the connections for the capacitor.
Is is reasonable to assume that the 1.5uF capacitor is correctly sized for the motor. The motor is old but the cap is of much newer vintage.
Thanks
