ABSTRACT:
A starting circuit for single phase electric motors including both split-phase and capacitor start motors includes a gate controlled solid state switch serially connected to the start winding of the motor. Rectified reference pulses from a pulse transformer are generated to turn on a first transistor to provide gating current for the solid state switch. Initially, when the motor is energized at zero rpm, the pulses are received at the switch after the start winding current passes through the zero current level to gate the switch to conduct each half cycle and energize the start winding however as the motor speeds up, the pulses are received earlier and earlier relative to the start winding current zero cross over until at a selected speed the pulses are received at the switch prior to the start winding current zero cross over with the result that the switch is no longer gated conductive. When this occurs the voltage across the switch goes high. This voltage is rectified and received at the base of a second transistor adapted to shunt the pulses from the pulse transformer away from the first transistor to lock out the switch with the start winding deenergized. In a first embodiment the pulse transformer is energized by the main winding current to directly employ the phase difference between main winding current and start winding current while in a second embodiment the pulse transformer is energized by line current to directly employ the phase difference between line current and start winding current.
