ABSTRACT:
An AC induction motor has a two-pole run winding connected directly to power, a four-pole run winding connected to power by a "Triac" switch, and a separate start winding connected to power by a "Triac" switch and a centrifugal start switch. The centrifugal switch is connected between a common node to the start "Triac" and either one or the other of the power terminals. The motor always starts as a two-pole start and two-pole run winding motor. Depending upon the power terminal connection, the motor continues to run with power supplied to the two-pole run winding, or actuate the "Triac" switch of the four-pole winding to operate as a four-pole motor. In different embodiments, the centrifugal switch is connected between the start circuit terminal and either the power terminal of the four-pole winding or of the two-pole winding.
