[Damith WicksParticipant @damithwicks70467]

Hi

I have just aquired a Myford Supper 7 lathe. I find the capacitor mounted on the mortor faulty and need to replace. this is the spec of the motor

220/240V
50hz
1425 rpm
3/4 hp

cannot undestand what is written on the capacitor

Capacitor
275V/WT
RED/YELLOW
12uF/440/VAC

Thanks

Hi Damith,

Sorry you are waiting for a reply so long.

Any motor start capacitor with a rating of 450V or higher and a value of 12uF (micro farads) will do.

Google for 12uf motor start capacitor

Don't fit a cheap electrolytic capacitor as it will go pop very quickly.

Hi contact Power Capacitors aka Transwave, I needed a capacitor for a motor and they sorted me out no problem and at a very competitive price/
