Motor Capacitor values

[bhejdak]

I have a single phase 5 hp motor with capacitors missing for the run and start of the motor.
I need to purchase one of each, but no one seems to know which ones to order.
220 volt motor but no values for uF 's.
One guy told me that I would have to throw the motor away

If you don't have the original caps on hand your only hope is to contact the manufacturer and they may not be any help.
With that I must close this thread.
