Another Question on Electric Motors!!!

Where's a good place to buy starter capacitors for electric motors??? I got one i'm hoping to rebuild but it's so sketchy. The wiring is a little cracked on the inside of the motor, and i don't know the model #,so i can look at investing in new wiring . All i know is that the motor in general electric and its from a crop dryer. The machine was left on the farm my dad bought and i'm his "Handy Man". I used to have the model # plate, but it fell off and i can't find it. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Anyway, what websites are good for high quality capacitors. i'd rather go to a good website than to go to a bad one... :wink: :wink: :wink:

Thanks Again!!!

If you know what you want, you can find name-brand 'lytics on ebay reasonably.

Grainger will have and start cap you might need, but one of the higher $$$ places to buy them.
 

Any place that repairs electric motors will sell caps. Like I said on your other post, however it is a lot more likely to be the start ending switch.

That was supposed to be start "winding" switch.
 
What part of the crop dryer is the motor from? If it's from the fan/heater chances are it's 3450 rpm. Worked on dryers for 26+ years. Do you know brand of dryer and where motor came from on dryer? If so I should be able to help you. Actually getting close to 70 and still doing it part time. I'm retired LOL just like a lot of other folks.
 

The good news is that you can not install too high of a mfd value. Bigger is better . Higher the starter cap capacitance , the lower the starting current and the higher the starting torque .
The larger the run capacitor , the lower the current in the cable out to the motor and the higher the voltage will be at the motor terminals .
Just ensure that the start and run capacitors are rated for at least 370V or higher .
Install the largest 370 or 440V caps that will fit under the cover.
