Default RPC Capacitor questions

Gunner
I still have the write-ups that Fitch did on how to balance a RPC. I can
forward them to you if you give me a good address to send them to that will
not bounce them. does gunner at ligtspeed net work ?

Im just about done building the 10hp RPC. Having run it...I find that
one leg is 240 volts, one is 215 and one is 205, unloaded.

What values run caps will I need? If I get it correctly..its 15mf per
hp, so that would make each of them 150mf?

I would assume that 370 VAC or higher voltage rating is what I want,
given start up surges and what not?

Do I find 2 big caps, or a bunch of little ones?

Some advice would be appreciated

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
