I own an old wood planer with an 2,9KW 380v 3 phase motor, but i have only single phase power in the garage where it is and i'm getting tired of dragging wires around to power it, i've rewired smaller motors up to 0,5kw using a capacitor to run on 220v single phase, now i don't know what size capacitor do i need for 2,9kw (4Hp) i have 125-160 mF 220v one but don't know is it enough, as for rewire it i have this diagram , now is wire like the left side for 380v and i'll swich it like the right for 220v.
