Induction motor tripping RCD
An RCD trips because the current in the phase line is different from that in the neutral line by more than a certain amount for longer than a certain period. If it''s an rcd it''s reacting to a phase/earth fault or a neutral/earth fault most likely. Are we assuming there''s only a single start/run capacitor? Does the wheel and motor turn freely by

Run capacitors do not hold a charge when the compressor is off, they discharge themselves through the motor windings of the compressor. When not in the circuit, a motor winding is just an electric resistor. If you get shocked by a run capacitor or it ever does have a spark then there is usually something wrong with the motor it''s hooked up to.

3 FAQs about [Capacitor single group tripping]
What is the difference between a start capacitor and a run capacitor?
Start capacitor is around 10 -22uF, run capacitor 3-10uF..depending on wattage of motor.. I would say the Brown wires are the Switch, and the Red,Green,Yellow are the Start and Run windings, the highest resistance is the Start, which goes to the capacitors via the switch, the lower resistance goes across the mains with common to Neutral.
Where can I find a capacitor for a motor?
