Default Re: Fridge compressor capacitors

trsomian , I think I got this fridge from you

I was trying to find the message in my inbox, but must have cleared them out.

Ive got the fridge running well with my new thermostat setup. One thing I wonder about now is overload protection on the run windings, I.E whether it needs any. I've no experience with fridges before this and it seems a lot of information online relates to newer fridges.

When the thermostat activates the relay, the run winding is connected directly to live, the common terminal to neutral, and the start winding has one connection to the starter box, with the starters other 2 terminals connected to live and neutral. It is conservatively fused, but I wonder if that alone is enough
