Default Re: Various ancient induction motors

Thanks Ted - they're nice articles, and I'm sure they will be useful to other people on here too. I don't half learn slowly these days, but I am making progress with the pile of motors! Can you tell me (simply) why a capacitor for 'run' on 240v needs to be 415v rated - is it something to do with exciting an LC series resonance with the 'clunk' as the thing is switched on, or off?
thanks
Mark
