Good point. I have been running my coolant pumps this way for years. The blue motor-run capacitor here: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QMMf_e2UZSM/VeNhQ7KwEbI/AAAAAAAAFdM/h2HhCrIBBa0/s1600/IMG_2095.jpg makes enough of a third-phase to run the coolant pump just fine. I think that is 3uF but they are cheap enough to experiment to find the one that gives a reasonably balanced extra leg on your system. This is 1) Cheap and 2) Won't create any HF noise. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
