Starter Capacitor on bandsaw

[voyager2121]

Hi, I removed a start capacitor (burnt out) from my newly acquired bandsaw and did not take a photo of where to replace wires. Apart from the earth there is on left a brown with opposite black/red, next terminal is blue and blue, next is a white with nothing opposite. This junction box is on the motor with the wires from switch coming in and then to motor as explained, any advice appreciated as to what terminals I use, thanks

I am moving this to the electrical forum as you may get more responses.
Can you put up some pics of the motor terminal box and its rating plate.

thanks for reply, photo shows capacitor brown connected to brown but not sure if the blue goes to blue or to the white.

Are you certain the capacitor wire you have connected went there.

Agree, that looks wrong. There are two winding ends connected to line, therefore the capacitor seems to want to be from white to neutral.

I thought so but maybe not, I have a feeling the blue neutral was with the white, sure wish I had took a photo.

No that is wrong. The red and black are the ends of the main and aux windings, blue and white the other ends. Connect the capacitor across blue and white.

So looking at picture the left terminals are white top,blue centre, and brown at bottom can you say exactly which terminals the capacitor brown and blue go to, thank you.

Doesn't matter which way but blue to blue and brown to white.

Thank you very much for your help and I will connect up tomorrow and let you know how I get on, thanks again.

All working perfectly again thanks to your help, much appreciated.
