Need Motor Capacitor

Need Motor Capacitor

Need Motor Capacitor

(OP)
I have a 115 V AC motor and on the name plate it calls for a 20 uF, 200 V capacitor.

Where can I find this capacitor? How does it get hooked up?
The motor only has 3 black wires coming out of it.

Thanks
Vince

RE: Need Motor Capacitor

Hi

  This does sound like a run type capacitor..and connection should be fairly simple to work out as your three wires out will most likely be from two windings, with a common,a run winding lead and a start winding lead.
  If you need any more info,refer to:
      www.motors-direct.co.uk
  A very usefull source of practical advise.
