RE: need wiring diagram for multiple capasitor 220 vac motor

Here is a diagram...
http://www.exico.co.uk/single-phase-revers.pdf

Typically, the start caps are paralleled.
The run caps are paralleled.

Smaller wire is the start winding (always in series).

Switch contacts should be in series.

#10 wire! ... You mean that's the lead wire size?


And next time... make a diagram before you tear the windings out!
