You should have a wiring diagram on the motor, if not you should be able to google (marathon motor wiring diagrams) and find your model number or go to marathon motors website.

SOURCE: wiring diagram for electricmotor with capacitor

I do not have a diagram for you, but depending on the motor, I can tell you a couple of things. 1. All capacitors are wired in series with the start winding. Most multi-speed motors, that require capacitors, have two brown leads, along with the motor winding leads. If this is the scenario, then just connect line power to neutral and the speed you wish to use, and connect the two brown leads, one to each side of the capacitor. Hope this helps.

Testimonial: "Thankyou for your assistance,very helpful."

SOURCE: I have a delta contractors table saw that wont

Most likely to quit suddenly is the switch.
My table saw switch broke recently, and at first I thought it was the motor.
Over the years I remember seeing table saws fitted with a handy box and ordinary light switch to replace the table saw switch.
Check for power at motor: Sometimes the wire connection from switch has access box on the motor where you can get in and check for power.

SOURCE: Do manufacturers of electric, cap-start/cap-run, 1ph motors use a standard wiring code for the capacitor wiring?

probably not as different manufacturers use what ever wire is available at the time of manufacture
however there is a standard attachment method for the capacitors and that is the diagram that you should be seeking
for example-- many capacitors have two lots of connected terminals and the motor will have only 2 wire ,so connection is to one each of the terminals that is not connected
others have 3 wires so one wire on one terminal and two wires on the connected terminals
This is knowledge that motor repairs will have learnt in their trade so it may be advantageous for you do do a lot of home work on power

SOURCE: air compressor 2hp 230v 1ph motor. I need to know how to test a starting capacitor. Thanks

IF you don't have a special meter, that costs more than the capacitor, just replace it. The meter is called an ESR meter and they are $$

Start run capacitors wiring diagram for Ingersoll Rand T30 5HP

In a typical setup, start and run capacitors are not wired directly to each other. They serve different purposes in the motor circuit. Start capacitors are used to provide an extra boost of power to start the motor, while run capacitors help improve motor efficiency and performance during operation.
Here is a general wiring guideline for start and run capacitors:
  1. Start Capacitor: The start capacitor is usually connected in series with the motor's start winding. It helps provide an extra boost of power during motor startup. The wiring configuration typically involves connecting one lead of the start capacitor to the start winding, and the other lead to the common terminal or neutral connection.
  2. Run Capacitor: The run capacitor is typically connected in parallel with the motor's run winding. It helps improve motor efficiency and performance during operation. The wiring configuration usually involves connecting one lead of the run capacitor to the run winding, and the other lead to the common terminal or neutral connection.
It's important to consult the manufacturer's documentation, wiring diagram, or a qualified technician familiar with the specific model of your Ingersoll Rand T30 5HP compressor for the accurate wiring instructions. They will have the expertise to provide you with the precise wiring configuration and any specific considerations for your particular compressor model.
If you're unsure or uncomfortable with the wiring process, it's recommended to seek professional assistance from a qualified electrician or a technician experienced with motor wiring and compressor systems. They can ensure the wiring is done correctly and safely.

Marathon electric motor thermal overload shut down

if it has 2 caps, yes the cap in the back of the motor (black plastic) is for starting motor, and if it has a metal one on the top, this is the run cap, if the run cap is bad it will trip the thermal after a few moments. but make sure you have the voltage set for your application.
