1 phase partial HP motor does the cap get wired to the line side of the circuit? I got a junk motor and table saw that was wired with a 2 conductor cable and the line/neutral was a maybe. When I replaced the cable and cleaned the start switch it now trips the breaker. I then reversed the line/ n connections and it hums but does not start. I cleaned the dust and have read to ground for a clean insulation. After 50 some years in the electrical industry, I now need to wire some motors internally rather than send 'em to the shop for a rewind. Thanks guys.
On all motors the Capacitor gos between the L1 and centrifugal (cut out)switch (which then gos to the start winding).In ac L1 and L2 are reversible toward the power source
