I'm not sure you really mean a motor _start_ cap.  Starting caps are 
electrolytic.  Applying AC power for more than a couple of seconds will 
toast the cap in short order.  Only motor _RUN_ caps or other continuous 
duty AC-rated caps should be used for PFC applications.

Ok but what does this mean for the coiler?... it means a cap across your NST
or MOT makes it draw less amps out of the wall.

My 2, 12/60's like  a 300mf motor start cap.

Good luck
Read you later
