Motor buzz
Motor buzz
(OP)
I have a motor which buzzes and turns slowly. It had a bad capacitor which I replaced with a very old one of the same capacitance and tests good(not shorted or open) except I cannot test the leakage current and don't know what it should be.
Would a capacitor with too high leakage cause this, or has a coil burnt out.
P.S. It is out of a small "Little Giant" magnetic drive water pump

It is a small ac capacitor and with this size, I would simply use a 250V or 500V insulation tester(Megger) to test for its dielectric property.
