As posted a few days ago, our Delta table saw often trips the 20amp breaker when we turn it on. Several replies suggested to replace the capacitor. Our motor has two capacitors, one for 110V and the other for 220V. We bought a replacement for the 110V, a Philips, same model as the original.
The new one has a resistor soldered across the terminals. Do we need to transfer that to the new one? The seller did not know the answer to that question.
Thanks, Peter

If you are saying the old cap had one but the new one does not it wouldn't hurt to transfer it. It was used to cut down arcing on the centrifugal switch when starting. Roly

Thanks Roly. I also found the answer elsewhere, saying the resistor is needed. Easy to unsolder and transfer over.
