Capacitor to 1,1 kW 1 phase motor

[Jens Eirik Skogstad 1Participant @jenseirikskogstad1]

Hi folks! Yesterday the capacitor was burned in the chinese milling machine.

The size of capacitor is 20 microFarad/450 VAC.

And i has 30 microFarad/450 VAC installed on the motor.. It has 2 capacitor: 100 microFarad and 20MicroFarad (now 30 microFarad).

Will it affect the 1,1 kW motor with 30 microFarad instead 20 microFarad?

30uf will be ok but make sure it is rated for minimum 250v working, preferably 350v.

30 and 150 are other sizes used with some makers for 1.1kW motors at 230v..

I tested with 30 microFarad and all is ok now. No bursted capacitor or feel hot there.

It's start capacitor who was damaged.
