Re: [ATM] AC motor HELP

[Jarvis Krumbein <jkoptic@juno.com>]

Anthony, if each color is for a seperate winding which I would assume as
one black and one blue are connected together (check to be sure with an
ohmeter) then the problem is simple.  Connect the 5uf capacitor between
the the remaining blue and black leads.  Connect one side of the line
cord to the two leads connected together and the other side of the line
cord to one of the leads connected to the capacitor.  If the motor runs
in the wrong direction, change the line cord to the capacitor to the
other side of the capacitor to reverse the direction.  That's it but do
have a fuse ( 1 Amp slo-blo) in series with the hot side of the line for
safetys sake.
