Location of Starting Capacitor
Location of Starting Capacitor
(OP)
I have a 1/40 hp 115vac motor that I need to reverse. Am I going to have problems if the capacitor is located 60 ft away? I'm using a PLC with relays to switch the leads to change direction. Here is the wiring diagram: http://www.surpluscenter.com/Wire/W10-995.jpg

This should not be a problem. Reaching full speed might take a little longer. This is done pretty regularly with single phase rotary electric vibrators, since the vibrator and the item being vibrated (a bin typically) is a bad location to place the capacitor.
