[QUOTE="spudmiester, post: 28447, member: 1587"] Was just about to assist with this then read rest of posts. Would have suggested brooks or other self contained starter, fairly easy to wire up if follow the diagrams. Have worked with motors big and small for nearly 20 years ,built loads of star delta starters from bits before today, used to build panels, infact still do now and then. Cant see how motor would work at all on single phase, however it could have been wired up 3 phase with a phase missing somehow, but would have struggled to turn compressor. Its very possible it was stuck in star, which would explain the high starting current, the getting hot and eventual failure. The so called 'Top Man' shuold have left well alone. [/QUOTE]
