AC Motor Capacitors: Wiring, Diagrams & Troubleshooting

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around troubleshooting an AC motor that was purchased with unconnected capacitors. The user provided links to the capacitors and the motor's wiring diagram but faced difficulties in getting the motor to power on, even when bypassing the capacitors. After several attempts, the user eventually managed to get the motor working through trial and error. The conversation highlights common challenges in wiring AC motors and the importance of understanding the connection of capacitors. Ultimately, the user found a solution despite initial setbacks.

I picked up a good and cheap AC motor that came with its own capacitors <not wired in though>
The capacitors are these

and this is the diagram on the motor

Now I tried putting this together but with no luck at all
the motor doesn't seem tohave power at all even if i just straight hook it up without the caps.
am I doing something completely wrong here?

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
