That type of capacitor usually does not have any polarity on it...

Red/blue to the capacitor & the rest to the ac motor...

Assuming I only need to wire red, blue, and black(for the speed).
If red goes to one side of the capacitor, and blue goes to the other,
Where does the black, live and neural wire go to?

Live goes to Blue, Neutral to Red & the capacitor goes in between Blue & Red. As for the speed (Black) connect it to the motor..

Black goes to the speed selector section of your circuit, DON'T hook it up to Blue/Red. It can go both side since its AC supply, there no polarity, same goes to your HP charger/blender.

If you connect L or N to Blue and N or L anything to L, M & H.. you will short your input, its just a coil (winding the wire into a coil) so there will be 0 resistance...

It is very low ohm (not zero), but that is in DC point of view. In the AC world, it has an impedance value Z=jωL  smile.gif
