I have a single phase 2hp motor powering my compressor. Unfortunatly its packed up for some reason, when i switch the motor on it buzzes, turns very slowly and then trips my 15A fuse in the garage. I have stripped the motor down and everything seems ok, nothing seems to be broken.
The motor has 4 wires coming from it, 2 white & 2 red. There was a capacitor attached to the motor too, but i cannot remember how this was wired and stupidly i just whipped off the connections without thinking.
What tests can i carry out to troubleshoot the cause of the problem?
Thanks
