motor connections

[bigtip]

hi to all,

i need to wire up an electric motor and i would like a few opinions on whether i'm on the right lines.

it's a single phase dual voltage motor and i think it's cap start but as i can't get the end off to check if there's a centrifugal switch or not i'm not 100% that it's cap start.

it has a standard 6 pole terminal block plus another 2 wires.

the first pair of wires on the terminal block read at 1.6 ohms, the second pair are the same. (these are the 2 run windings?)

of the other 2 wires on the terminal block, the first reads 2.6 ohms with one of the separate wires (start winding?)

the last wire on the terminal block reads 0 ohms with the other separate wire (centrifugal switch)

all other combinations read 'open circuit'.

so the 2 separate wires is where a cap would connect meaning the start winding, cap and centrifugal switch are in series. this is my assumption but am i missing another possibility?

also would anyone know a good way of guessing what size cap would suit?
it's 0.7 kw.

cheers in advance.

i can add a drawing to make sense of the above description if that would help...

i'm fairly confident that the assumptions i have made make sense but if someone thinks differently let me know before i turn it on and burn it out!
