    AC Motor Wiring ?

    Bill, Thanks for the information. After some research, I believe the capacitor causes a 90-degree phase shift which determines the rotation direction of the motor. Moving the capacitor to the other winding should reverse the rotation direction. Is my understanding correct?

    AC Motor Wiring ?

    Thank you, Scotty. Would the motor work if the capacitor were omitted and the orange and red leads were simply connected? Or is the cap needed as a "start-up capacitor"? Thanks again.

    AC Motor Wiring ?

    I've made several attempts at wiring this small AC motor but can't seem to get it to work. I'm sure the answer is right in front of me but I'm not sure how to interpret the schematic. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you...
