Hi,
Wifey noticed Irrigation Sprinklers not working.
Went to Breaker Panel and Beaker tripped.
Put breaker back on started system at control box no pump running.
Checked Breaker and Tripped.
Put in new Breaker to test, new breaker trips also.
Went to newly rebuilt pump to visual wiring all good.
Pulled Motor Capacitor and tested with VOM and tested BAD.
Have ordered new Capacitor.
Question, can bad Capacitor trip Motor?
Tested Capacitor from terminal to case, all good, but...
Capacitor would not come up to rated Farads!
Thanks!
