ABSTRACT:
A motor control circuit comprises first, second and third saturable reactors connected between three supply lines and the three phases of a motor. The reactors can be excited to energize the motor to give a high torque output in a forward direction. Two further reactors ("reverse" reactors) are connected between the second and third supply lines and the third and second motors phases.
In the "forward" condition, the "reverse" reactors are unexcited and have line voltage across them. To drive the motor in the reverse direction at a lower torque level, the first reactor and the "reverse" reactors are excited at a lower level and the second and third reactors are unexcited. However, the latter two reactors are made to operate at a point above the magnetization curve knee point by passing current through them up to their full-load current, and they are thereby "stretched" across a voltage only slightly (say 13%) above the phase voltage. Hence, only the fourth and fifth reactors have to withstand full line voltage.
