I am trying to salvage and use a nice-looking squirrel-cage-type AC motor marked 230v 50 Hz from my bread-maker, which is kaput, but I think the motor is OK. It has three wires attached to it: one red, one white and one black. A capacitor with a red and a black wire is connected to the wires of the same colour on the motor. The capacitor is marked 4 microfarads 450v 50/60 Hz. How should I connect my UK single phase supply, brown, blue and yellow/green earth to this motor? I am a retired medical research worker who has expertise in optics, but I am a beginner in electronics. I tried to include this information in my profile, but a message came up: 'You not allowed to edit this profile'. So I have included this information here instead.
