2/4-pole PSC motor with shared main winding and shared auxiliary winding

摘要

A motor comprising a 2/4-pole permanent-split capacitor motor having a shared main winding and a shared auxiliary winding. The shared auxiliary winding comprises a 4-pole auxiliary winding phase shifted one slot less than a phase shift of 90 degrees with respect to the 4-pole main winding. A switching circuit selectively simultaneously energizes the shared main winding and the shared auxiliary winding in the 2-pole and 4-pole configurations.
