Hi Dennis,

You want "motor run" style caps. NOT "motor start". The motor runtypes are made for direct connection across the AC full time.


About roughly 150uF would do well.

The cap(s) are wired directly across the input terminals of your NST.

Cheers,

        Terry

Thanks for all the advice on the hazards of indoor coiloperation. After hearing from you guys, man am I glad I asked.
I've got another technical question if anyone would care to weighin. My 4" coil is powered by a 15/60 NST. It keeps blowing the 20amp fuse in my variac. I think this means the coil needs PFC. I'mpretty sure I know what kind of caps would be right, but I'm havingtrouble determining the proper way (where & how) to hook them up.Could one of you help me out this info?
Thanks.  Dennis Hopkinton MA
