Rewiring an electric motor to run with an capacitor

It's starting to sound more trouble than it's worth, i may be better off buying some more three phase cable and running 3 phase power to it.
 
if you have 3 phase available, that would be the easiest route :)

but a relay could be easily employed to switch between run and start capacitor circuits
 
I'm very lucky to live in a fairly new neighborhood with good power infrastructure 3 phase 380v.
 
If I had 3 phase power available at reasonable cost I would definitely use it.

Otherwise, it would make sense to spend some time reading up on the whole issue of running 3 phase motors on single phase.
