Hello!
I am converting the manual control system of electric winches with single-phase motors to automatic (2 contactors per motor - you need to change the direction of rotation). As the motors will be about 30-40m away from the electrical cabinet each, I decided to lead them to them with a four-wire cable (for each tap), and leave the starting capacitors in the cabinet by the contactors.
I realize that the starting capacitors should be connected as close to the motors as possible, in fact the only alternative I see now is to leave the starting capacitor permanently connected with one terminal to Z1 and the other one will be on the wire going to the cabinet. What do you think about it?

I have already drawn the control for the motor with two identical windings, but from what I found out, these motors have a starting winding with a higher resistance.
