QSL on the copyright stuff. I, too, decry plagiarism. As hinted by another post-er, if the reactance of the cap and motor winding are equal, the current is limited only by the resistance in the circuit. To complicate the effects of this kluge, the motor 'iron' will probably saturate, as well ... Have we whipped this dead horse to life yet ;o??? 73, Dave, K3BHJ
