Abstract
A starter circuit for motors, particularly for refrigerator compressors, comprising a starter device which is adapted to be connected to a starter winding and to a steady-state winding of an asynchronous motor, the windings being in turn connected to a power supply line, a capacitor being connected in parallel to the starter device; the starter circuit further comprises a resistive element which is adapted to be connected between the starter device and the capacitor, in order to limit a discharge current of the capacitor on the starter device.
