capacitor - How can i make my 380/380 volts motor to run on 220 volts?


I bought a small and old combi woodworking machine "Emco Start". The Machine is running 380v. The problem is that i only have 220 at home. I made some research and i found out that it is possible to get it run on 220 volts, by adding a Capacitor. My problem is that i am not not how to wire it to the motor, and i am not sure what is the needed value of the capacitor ( It has a switch, so it runs with two speeds)


The label on the motor shows : Volts : 380/380 KW : 0,37/0,51 U/min : 1430/2860


the wiring taken from the schematics is attached here. Thanksenter image description here

U, V, U => from the motor to the switch (speed 1) WV, MV, VU => from the motor to the switch (speed 2)

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
