Hey Elwood...
I have a bunch of odd sized start caps for single phase compressor motors... If you can give me an idea of what values you want to experiment with... I will bring you a box of half a dozen or more down to BD's. They are all 370 or 440V rated. _________________ John Morgan PP-SEL Former member PRA Member PeachState Rotorcraft club Member Sunstate Rotor & Wing Club Owner/builder of The Subinator: Single place Dominator/Subaru EA-81 (currently in full restoration) Soon to offer machine shop services |

That motor looks to be about 3/4 - 1 HP by its size so I am sure the capacitors run around 5 Micro Farad to 15 MF.... _________________  A walk in the woods helps me relax and release tension.

Not sure I have any that small... will look and get him a box to play with when he gets home from BD's. _________________ John Morgan PP-SEL Former member PRA Member PeachState Rotorcraft club Member Sunstate Rotor & Wing Club Owner/builder of The Subinator: Single place Dominator/Subaru EA-81 (currently in full restoration) Soon to offer machine shop services |

Attachment: rotophaser.jpg Here is a drawing of the one I built with a 3hp motor. It starts my 3hp lathe and my 2 hp mill. Hint the more motors running the smoother everything runs. - A starting capacitor should be rated at least 250 volts and between 50-100 microfarads per rated horsepower of your idler Note that there should be fuses, breakers and overload heaters to protect life limb and property.
