I checked my setup: the fuse to the cap was blown the whole time! Well, I
tried again, and the fuse kept on blowing....its a small 2A fast acting
fuse, the motor itself is .03A so there shouldn't be a problem. I put the
variac in line just by connecting the leads to the numbers 1 and 3 (there's
five connectors on the variac, 1, 2 ,3, 4, 5...its a small Ohmite one).....
the fuse still kept blowing. Is the cap value too big for the motor? Plus,
in parallel, wouldn't the cap just act as a short? that's what it
intuitively seems.
