I have 2 identical old but brand new GE PSC motors (5KCP19 type.)
I'm having trouble discerning the connection scheme for them. They are single speed units. Both meter the same.
5 connections are available, BLK WHT BLU YELL RED
These are the values when measured.
BLK-WHT 0 Ohms
BLU-YELL 17
BLK or WHT-RED 92
There is no other continuity, none to frame.
Both motors meter the same.
With power across BLK/WHT to RED I get hum and with shaft assistance the unit spins in either direction moderately
Across BLU-YELL hum with fast spin in either direction with assistance.
No matter how I configure the 4MFD cap connections, the most I can get is non assisted very slow rpm.
Not sure if the commonality between WHT BLK is through a thermistor.
