Electric motor control

An electrical motor control for an electric motor having three terminal connector pins associated therewith and having a main winding and an auxiliary winding electrically connected in parallel in an electric circuit for supplying power to the motor comprising a housing mounted on said motor, said housing having a first cavity containing a start-up switch electrically connected in series with said auxiliary winding of said motor which includes a resistive element having a characteristic that its resistive value increases with an increase in temperature and a thermostatic switch having an actuation member which is responsive to temperature so that upon reaching a preselected thermostatic switch actuation temperature said member moves from a closed current path position to an open current path position, which removes electric power from said auxiliary winding, said thermostatic switch being positioned to be in direct heat transfer relationship with said resistive element so that said actuation member will rise in temperature as said resistive element rises in temperature to a temperature above preselected thermostatic switch actuation temperature, and a second cavity containing a motor protector device, said motor protector device is electrically connected in series with the main winding of said motor, and it includes an actuation device which is responsive to temperature and over-current conditions so that upon reaching a preselected motor protector actuation temperature said protector actuation devices moves from a closed current path position to an open current path position to stop the supply of current being delivered to the motor.
