ABSTRACT:
An AC motor control system and process useful in such AC motor applications as elevators, storage retrieval machines, cranes and hoists, and other load-carrying and work performing machinery.
Two identical and electrically isolated windings are utilized in an AC motor with the current to each winding being controlled through an SCR bank. A first winding, when energized, sets up an electromagnetic field which drives the rotor in a clockwise. A second winding, when energized, drives the rotor in a counterclockwise direction.
The use of two separate motor windings eliminates line-to-line electrical short circuit problems so that expensive lock-out circuits, circuit breakers, current feedback detectors and air chokes are no longer required.
