Possibly damaged motor when replacing start capacitor

Hi folks

I’ve been having issue with tripping breaker on startup. Have been delinquent in fixing this. Finally had time to open up the end cap of a HST225 single stage 2.25 hp pump. The capacitor shipped in the motor when I replaced in fall was rated 110 VAC so I went ahead blindly and replaced with a new 165 VAC I had on hand from a prior motor I had replaced last fall. When I got it installed I started it up to a low hum and then a pop and smoke. After quite a bit of investigation I learned the circuit board was set up for 220v. Attached the board photos and breaker being dual 20 amp. I later learned how to test motor windings by probing on L1 and L2 terminals and reading OL meaning the windings are open and motor will likely be unable to start. At least these steps were offered by an AI tool not sure if they are accurate. No ground faults and the start windings - capacitor leads show 5 ohms. I’ll attached the circuit board and motor plate here. I’m not electrician and only mildly competent with my multimeter but can I assume the motor has failed during this power on test? Before I tested the motor winding I had overnighted 2 250VAC capacitors with a lower and a higher uF range and still plan to test as I suspect can hurt anything.

Mystery Pool Pump Model

IMG_9558.jpeg
I am hoping someone can assist with the model number on this pump. The pool company temporarily taped a generic cylinder cap (left side) but said this will not sustain long term as they could not find the original cap (maybe raccoons or something else took it away during the winter). The label reads Marathon Electric but also has a Hayward Products sticker. A lot is faded, but all I can see on the bottom right is the following number: 52X333027AA. Would appreciate any help here so I don’t have to replace the whole thing.

Pool updates -- pumps, heat pump with LP heater, SWG

- Replace spa pump with 1.5hp Pentair Intelliflo VSP
- Replace pool pump with 3hp Pentair Intelliflo VSP

I want a 3 HP pump for the spa jets to have strong jet pressure.

I would go with two 3HP Intelliflo3 pumps.

- Install a AquaCal SQ225 to the left of the propane heater (or another heat pump -- open to other brands). I would like a bypass to select which heater I want to use (propane or heat pump) or bypass the heaters all together -- confirmed I have enough power. NOTE: heater on the right is for the spa

Aquacal is good. So is Built Right or Gulfstream.



- Install CircuPool RJ-60 PLUS after the heaters (right now there is no space and the return pipe goes back under the shed)
