Abstract
In an AC motor having a main winding (1) and a start winding (2) both connectable to an AC power source (3), and having a switch (22) for disconnecting the start winding from the AC source, an improved control circuit for the switch is provided. A pulse generator (15) responds to main and start winding or capacitor voltage sensors (11 and 12) for generating a first set of variable width output pulses (16) having a width determined by the phase differential between the voltages. A comparator timer (17) responds to the pulse generator for outputting a second set of variable width pulses (18) having a width determined by the amount of which the pulse width of the pulses of first set (16) exceed a selected duration (42). An output pulse detector (20) responds to the comparator timer for detecting the second set of variable width pulses and outputs a delayed turn-off signal (21) to the switch (22).
