fusing for start capacitors

Oct 17, 2003 0 Replies

The "new big shop" project has been on hold for fall harvest. Now, I'm back at it again. Just about ready to fire up my new phase converter. Its a 15 hp motor and a 20 hp motor. Start the 15 hp unit and then a few seconds later bring in the 20 hp. unit.



Anyway, I put 1500 MFD of start capacitors (and 300 MFD of run capacitors on this L1-L2 leg) in the converter. What size fuse should protect this circuit?
