A motor is disclosed in which the stator winding of, for example, a squirrel cage induction motor, is connected in series with a capacitor so that the capacitor, together with the input voltage, causes the stator core to periodically switch from a nonsaturated to a saturated condition and vice-versa so that the flux density is maintained at a uniform high level. A second stator winding may be provided in parallel with the first stator winding and capacitor which second winding serves to provide increased starting torque and improve the overall operating characteristics of the motor. Also disclosed is an embodiment in which an inverter is employed to permit the motor to be operated from a DC source. |
