ABSTRACT:
A capacitor-start capacitor-run single phase AC induction motor control starting circuit is provided which minimizes first cycle current spiking magnitude, and also minimizes cycle to cycle current spiking magnitude, without a choke or inductor in the loop containing the run capacitor, start capacitor and start switch. The first cycle current spiking problem is solved by controlling when the start switch may be turned on at initiation of the starting mode in relation to the AC cycle, to permit turn-on of the start switch only within a known or predictable range of voltage differential between the run and start capacitors. The cycle to cycle current spiking problem is solved by proper phasing of gate current, and supplying gate current to the start switch in phase with the voltage across the run capacitor and out of phase with the current through the series connected start switch and start capacitor.
