RV water pump-1

I got an old junk 3 PH water pump which could runs on 460 VAC. This originally use in 220 VAC act as water booster pump. In this test I used 5x 1.2 uF 400 VAC caps which act as run caps and I got reduction A draws from 1100 mA to 550 mA. I'm sure it could use as power saving mode for daily motor usage.

What is your conclusion of this? Is the caps hooked up in parallell or series? Does the power go down when the caps are connected, or the rpm? If the caps in series, it might smooth out the switching in the AC and give the motor a smoother run perhaps? But I'm not an electrician..

I connected the caps in parallel and got little increase in RPM (just from my hearing instead of RPM meter). When I connected its in series, the RPM goes much down. I thought this setup increase motor efficiency.

How do I remove the capacitor on a AC water pump by GE?

Hope it works better then it looks. Looks like a piece of junk!

nice,great

just keep it up,dont stop doing something that mankind will benefit...thanks

Great job keep Your interest and passion on everything what You want to do. There is source of low consumptions energy everywhere but Reach people coming be pore when all will get that information, You are part of revolution in global scale :)

Well done Rev!!! Yes you have a reduced torque but more efficient at this reduced torque, you add in an AC motor controller or frequency drive (hack inverter) and you can have higher RPM and torque but more efficient!

wont dry running it hurn it?
