ABSTRACT:
An energy efficient electric motor is provided with a supplementary run winding arrangement which operates in conjunction with the motor's main run winding to produce a combined magnetic field with sufficient strength to operate the motor under full load. Less than full load operation obtains increased efficiency through a reduction of power flow to the supplementary run winding arrangement, which brings about a significant reduction in stator core structure (eddy current) losses and winding (resistance) losses. A controller may predetermine the normal amount of magnetic field strength necessary during each portion of the motor's usual operating cycle and variously modulate the instant level of power coupled with the supplementary run winding arrangment.
