Abstract
The present invention resides in a capacitor-start, single-phase induction motor wherein connections for all coil windings are used during start-up and running of the motor. The induction motor during start-up is connected as a 2 pole motor and is switched to connect as a 4 pole motor when the capacitor drops out of the motor circuit. A cylindrical air gap motor with radial coils in a wound stator makes the pole change easily possible. The use of radial coils provides a design with a minimum of copper wire. This particular induction motor will reduce the use of copper wire in the wound coils by approximately 50%.
Claims3
A capacitor start single-phase induction motor having a circuit which comprises using winding coil connections utilizing all coil windings during starting of the motor as a 2 pole motor until reaching a change over speed, wherein the capacitor is removed from the circuit and winding coil connections change to a 4 pole motor for running using all coil windings.
A capacitor start single-phase induction motor having a circuit which includes 2 winding coil connections in phase with a line current and 2 winding coil connections having an alternate phase produced by a capacitor at start rotation until a rotor reaches about 70% of full load speed, wherein the capacitor crops out of the circuit and all 4 winding coil connections switch in phase with a line current to a 4 pole motor connection.
