Re: [amsat-bb] 24 Volt Motor theory help needed

["kc6uqh" <kc6uqh@xxxxxxx>]

Andrew,
Something in the range of 10 to 100 uF, must be a motor run capacitor and 
have a AC rating  greater than 40 Volts. The Value is dependent on the size 
of the motor and provides for the max torque.
Suggest WW Granger or McMaster Carr as a source.
