Hi all,
I work on some small pump motors some times that don't have any wiring diagrams on them and I was wondering... If one where to hook a start cap up wrong could it damage the motor?
What I mean is on motors like AO Smith you have two yellow wires and a red wire going to the cap. Like this:
So if one where to hook one of the yellow's to the red side could it damage the motor if it was turned on for few seconds. I know it could/would blow the cap.
Thanks,
Nathan.

Code:
L1-------------+

+-| |----- Config switch (Red)

Winding--------+
(Yellow)
