Hi,
Killed my compressor the other day, was running a lot though - spraying. Took it to bits and found the capacitor had exploded, it only has one capacitor in it as far as I could see. The problem is that the text on the side of the capacitor has worn off and the only bit left said 400V~ 450V~ and cant see what it's capacitance is. Anyone know what I should be using? It's a 3.5hp 240v 16A motor.
Oh and the brand of the capacitor is Italfarad RP-2
Life without a compressor blows....
