I checked the voltage on the 3 legs without any run capacitors and I
got 220,220,240 so this is within 10% and I may not need any balancing
capacitors after all at idle. I have seven 250V 108-130uF start
capacitors in parallel. How do I determine the required resistance /
watts to put a bleed resistor across them? If Watts=VI then 240*37 =
8.88KW and the resistance of R=V/I gives me 6.5 ohms. Does this sound
about right?
