My Ingersoll Rand air compressor motor has suddenly started throwing the breaker when it comes on. It doesn't happen every time. I am guessing that it is a capacitor?
This compressor is about 8 years old but it doesn't get used a whole lot. I would guess that it has about 300 hours of use during its life. When it was new, the motor went out in the first 10 or 15 hours of use and it was under warranty so they sent me a new one with no questions asked.
How can I test the capacitors, or am I barking up the wrong tree? The motor is a 5 hp Emerson made in mexico, 56 frame, 3450 rpm, 230v. The bearings are good in it.
Looks like a replacement motor is about $400 or so. I'm not crazy about spending that.
