Thread: Pool pump capacitor wiring

Either way around for such a capacitor, it does not matter which blue wire goes on which terminal.

Just don't go rubbing your fingers across the pins.

Thanks, i know where the white wire goes but cant remember how the others went , white goes on front right and there was a cover on one of the other pins .

So rubber cap goes on back right, and the 2 blues go on the left pins.(both lefts will be connected, but the joint may be hidden under the resin.)
