An AC squirrel cage motor runs with a rotor current frequency equal to the slip of the motor times its excitation frequency. It is desirable to reduce the rotor current on start up by means of an increased resistance, and then to run the motor with a reduced resistance once it is started. This invention takes advantage of the skin effect of high frequency currents by increasing rotor end ring resistance during startup. After the motor has started up, and has reached full speed, the rotor frequency is reduced to merely the slip multiplied by the stator frequency. The skin effect on the rotor current is less, and the motor runs with reduced resistance.
