Kingspan septic tank not working

[devs]

I've just wired the motor to a plug and it didn't work.

I then decided to test the caps resistance via the meter and on each received a '1' value. Does this indicate that the caps have blown?

You need a meter with a capacitance range.

Which range is your meter set to..... What does a 1 signify ?

This is how I had the meter set:

What happens when you touch the probes together ?

 

[devs]

it reads 0 when together and 1 when apart.

 

[Terrywookfit]

which wires in JB did you test.?

This is how I tested in the JB:

I've just tested both of the caps via that meter setting Bernard and received no reading from either?

You need to do a sequence of measurements to measure ( test ) a large capacitor.

I would not call 3 uf large.

You should get a resistance between U1 andU2 run winding

and U1 and Z2 start winding

Sorry Terry can you explain that it layman's terms please?

Touch probes together to check ok 0 ohms

Test between U1 and U2 Reverse probes and recheck..... Repeat with U1 and Z2.

Okay for the "Test between U1 and U2 Reverse probes and recheck....." - I receive a '1'

for "Repeat with U1 and Z2". - I receive moving digits counting to zero
