Compressor problems...please help!

[Malachia]

guys, i am using a compressor that i have taken from an AC unit, it is an aspera T7223E

now, what's the problem?

here it is:

i mounted it and tunr it on, it worked for about 2h with r22@-45 then it short circuited, now it doesn't "boot up", when i attach it to the energi it short circuit

what can i do? originally was mounted with a small condensor that i used, and a big one that i don't used since the compressor was working the same,as all the compressor i used until now...i thinked was only for the AC electrical part and thermostat, but maybe it was for the compressor...it is a 16uF 500v- 50hz, i will post pics later...

i donno what to do, maybe attaching the condensor...

If i understand what u said ur compressor ran fine for 2 hours and than what? blew a breaker or just stoped running. As for the 16uf 500v part its a capacitor ur compressor needs that part to start.

I think he means capacitor not condensor, you may just have have a shorted capacitor. we need more info and pics to clear this up.

do you know how to test capacitors.
