Upgrading from a 5hp to a 10 hp, 5hp I bought complete 4 years ago,. My new lathe popped a starter cap on the 5 hp rpc. I have a 10 hp motor and encloser. 220V is wired in my garage. I figured to use a Run capacitor of 280 mfd, and a Starting capacitor of 600 mfd.
I just have a few questions.
First, What is the difference with a starting cap and a running cap? I know what they do different, but do they have to be a specific starter cap or a running cap?
Second, can I use ballasts from floresent lights, if the value is the same?
Third, I want to use a timer relay, I found one from McMaster a HVAC Motor starter relay 240V?
Fourth, do my values sound right?
Fifth, Should I use 10 gage or 6 gage for a 10 Hp?
Thanks
