Psc motor having multiple speed and voltage configurations

A permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor comprising:

• a stator defining an axis of rotation, said stator comprising:
• a start winding;
• a capacitor electrically coupled in series with said start winding;
• a plurality of main windings electrically coupled to said start winding and said capacitor, said plurality of main windings comprising a first center terminal;
• and
• a first plurality of extended main windings comprising a second center terminal, wherein said plurality of main windings and said first plurality of extended main windings are configured to be energized at one of a first voltage and a second voltage to produce a first motor speed and a second motor speed;
• and
• a rotor disposed adjacent said stator and configured to rotate relative to said stator about the axis of rotation at a selected one of the first motor speed and the second motor speed induced at least partially by a magnetic output of said start winding, said plurality of main windings, and said first plurality of extended main windings.

A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system comprising:

• an air blower;
• and
• a permanent split capacitor (PSC) motor coupled to said air blower, said PSC motor comprising:
• a stator defining an axis of rotation, said stator comprising:
• a start winding;
• a capacitor electrically coupled in series with said start winding;
• a plurality of main windings electrically coupled to said start winding and said capacitor, said plurality of main windings comprising a first center terminal;
• and
• a first plurality of extended main windings comprising a second center terminal, wherein said plurality of main windings and said first plurality of extended main windings are configured to be energized at one of a first voltage and a second voltage to produce a first motor speed and a second motor speed;
• and
• a rotor disposed adjacent said stator and configured to rotate relative to said stator about the axis of rotation at a selected one of the first motor speed and the second motor speed induced at least partially by a magnetic output of said start winding, said plurality of main windings, and said first plurality of extended main windings.
