Re: 120VAC 15A motor won't spin up to speed



There is no belt, the shaft goes right into the compressor. I can turn it
quite eaisly with my hand.

I have a 120VAC 15A electric motor that is on an aircompressor that I
found. I plugged it in and the motor starts to spin slowly but never gets
going fast then trips the circuit breaker.

It spins eaisly by hand and the bearings seem to be okay. Does it
probably just need new capacitors? It has 2 120v 330uf caps on it.

pull the belt off and see if it comes up to speed.
