Wish I had read all those T2X start cap memos.... I have an estate T2X =
that wasn't used for a couple years but was new then. I just wired the =
T2X up through a new run of 8 conductor cable... 2-#16 and 6#18 wires. =
The cable is 200ft long and already I notice things are hesitant to =
start turning. I have a small weatherproof plastic box that is large =
enough to house a new start cap I have along with an 8 terminal barrier =
terminal strip.
I notice from the T2X schematic that the start cap is across pins 4 and =
8 of the connectors. If I cut the rotor cable about 5 ft up from the =
base of the tower and put the start cap and weatherproof housing there =
will I notice any difference in T2X start operation?
Has anyone already tried this? I can leave the other start cap in the =
control head and just insulate those particular leads out at the tower =
base.
The T2X is on a 70ft Rohn 45 and the tower base is approximately 132ft =
from the rotor control head. The only object being turned is an =
Optibeam 16-3 mounted at 71ft.
Thanks for any info,
Larry K1UO
