[QUOTE="Simmo, post: 658005, member: 4105"] I am a technician not an electrician but in my view, if wired like that circuit diagram above, when the motor is not running, the capacitor would charge and give the motor a high current 'bump' to get going. Once the motor is running, there is little voltage 'charging' the cap, all power is going to the motor. When the motor stops, more power to the cap, ready for next start? If things are getting hot, where did you wire in your cap?? [/QUOTE]
