Looking to find a suitable replacement motor capacitor. The motor is
on a chipper (3450 RPM). I would guess that it is a RUN capacitor but
am not sure. It is about 1.5 inches in diameter and 8 inches long.
The label information is listed below. Can anybody here shed some
light on this? Can you tell from the label information that it is
indeed a RUN capacitor? (Significant $ difference over a START cap.)
If the label does not answer the question, how else might I find out?
It looks very difficult to take the motor apart to look for a
centrifugal switch.
Label:
BOSCH
0 670 311 620 MP
40 microFarads +/- 10%
240V~DB 60 Hz
-25/+70 C HSFNT
FZ 5
1029
BS 5627 Made in Germany 550 - 8
There are also three symbols on the label One looks like it may
represent a motor. One is a circle containing a + over the letter S.
One is a triangle containing the letter V over DE.
Knowing some German would likely help.
Thanks,
-Denis
