Re: Single phase ex-avionics motor start up?!
That capacitor will need be of fairly decent quality, as it does do a bit of work.
Traditionally they are oiled paper, but that has probably been replaced with some fancy plastic. Mind you the old oiled paper caps just dry out, not explode like some caps do today.
Hmm I dont want to start an argument, but I believe that the cap must stay put after starting, i.e. the motor requires the phase shift all the time.
Isolation is always a good idea, but that motor will be so beautifully balanced, probably some rubber grommets around the mounting bolts will be sufficient.
Best wishes
