A power consumption reducing control circuit for a three phase induction motor (10), wherein power factors (P1, P2, P3) for the three phases (A, B, C) are separately determined and summed to provide a composite control signal, which is suitably conditioned (64, 66) and then employed to control the duty cycle of each phase of input power to the motor (10) through the appropriately timed gating of thyristors or Triacs (12, 14, 16). |
