Hi everyones...thanks to read. I've dismantled my air conditioner to clean the inside. I've noticed that there's a device called in the schematic "start assist (optional)". It's two wires are parralleled to the capacitor that feeds the compressor's start coil. The resistance of that device (when disconnected from the circuit) is
26ohms. I guess that it helps to start the compressor if the capacitor alone is not enough to start it properly, but it's only a guess. Anyone can help me by explaining how (and when?...) this device operates? TIA for any reply.
