Air compressor quit running this afternoon. No burnt smell. Motor was not hot. Just would not start. Power is 230 single phase to a 1-1/2 hp motor and is getting as far as the capacitors.
My best guess is that the cap died--Do not know which one--Probably start.
There are two capacitors. I will replaced both.
The run one is 30 microfarad at 240 vac.
the start cap is 750-800 microfarad at 125 vac. (this one I can purchase)
My catalogs only list the run cap as 30 microfarad at 370 vac. Would this work?
Thanks,
Lost
