I need to make sure understand, since I am about to wire things together.
I have a 7.5hp idler motor for my soon-to-be-built RPC. My questions concern the run cappacitors
Question 1: When sizing the run caps to help balance the 3rd leg, my calcualtions show I need between 90 and 120 mF. Does that mean I need that value per leg or total. For instance, I have 2, 50mF run caps and plan to put one between L1-L3 and the other between L2-L3. Is this correct that it will give me the 100mF I need, Or do I need 100mF on each leg?
Question 2: My run caps are duel run 50/5mF. Where to plug wires? From L1 to Com on cap, out HERM on Cap. to L3?
