Hi everyone yesterday I've bought this air compressor and today I've managed to make it run after a complete rewiring because someone attempted to repair it improperly messing up with connections.
I'm in struggle to find the capacitors needed.
it has a 70 and a 40μF ones.
I've connected them 70 for the start and 40 for the run but I does work either way even if with just 70 on the start or 40 doesn't matter apparently.
bigger the capacitor on the start quicker the switch response.
searching online I've found more confusion because run capacitor for this compressor is 200μF? What? And 35 for the run .
but it's not certain data because I found also 35 run 40 run ,50 and so on for both sides .
I'm confused I don't know what to do tbh I'm tempted to use the 70 as starter and 40 as running because I've found those connected but I'm not sure they are right .
they were connected in some sort of strange series parallel anyway wasn't working this way
Here is a diagram I've made to understand how the wiring should be .
Has someone a 3hp V twin air compressor and can check the capacitors capacity ?
Because online I cannot find a baseline indication .
I've ever tried to put 120μF and it works the same as all the options
