A series resonant capacitor motor is operated from a source of single phase alternating current power (9), and the start and run windings (13 and 14) are wound on the stator electrically angularly displaced from one another by 90 DEG . The run winding (13) is of heavy wire, and it is connected in series with a capacitor (17) having a high capacitance to the source of alternating current power (9). The start winding (14) is connected in parallel with the series connected run winding and capacitor. During the full load and no load running conditions of operation of the motor, substantially all of the current passes through the run winding (13) and capacitor (17) with little or no current flowing through the start winding (14). The motor exhibits improved starting torque, and an additional switched starting capacitor (27) can be connected in parallel with the series resonant capacitor to produce high starting torque. |
