My neighbor installed the wrong type of capacitor on my Grundfos water pump motor. He installed a start capacitor with 30 mfd when he should have installed a run capacitor. Start capacitors which are intended to increase starting torque are designed for CSCR or CSIR motors. These systems will utilize a centrifugal switch, current relay, or potential relay to remove the capacitor from the circuit once the motor reaches ~75% of rated RPM. This usually will take less than 1 second. Start capacito

A cooler running motor ought to last longer and a more efficient motor ought to run cooler.  So doesn't higher efficiency mean longer motor life? Not necessarily.  First, if by "life" you mean the time until the first repair, that's more likely to be because of a bearing failure than because of winding temperature.  Second, a more efficent motor does have lower heat-producing losses, but that also may allow use of a less robust cooling fan (meaning lower windage loss) because the
