If the motor operates correctly, the problem is in the external circuit. To test a capacitor-start, induction-run (CSIR) motor, a new start capacitor and an extra jumper cord are required, Figure 25-13. Replace the capacitor in the system with a new one of the same voltage and micro- farad rating. Connect the wiring as shown in the dia- gram and operate the circuit as described previously. Close the start switch and then the run switch. Open the start switch after a second or two. If the motor oper- ates correctly, the problem is in the external circuit. Safety Note Capacitor Safetyy After testing is completed, remember to short the testing capacitor using a 20,000 (20 kΩ), 2 W resistor. This will eliminate the possibility of electrical shock from the capacitor..acitorpca To test a capacitor-start, capacitor-run (CSCR) motor, several items are needed: a new start capacitor, a new run capacitor, and several sets of jumper cords, Figure 25-14. Use new capacitors of the same rating Capacitor Safet After testin g is completed, remember to short the testing capacitor using a 20,000 ( 20 k ) , 2 W resistor.
