Abstract
A motor power module is provided that includes a control board mounted to the terminals of a relay. The control board includes a control circuit with a processor. The processor is operative to monitor a level of current supplied by the control circuit to at least one windings terminal connected to a single phase AC motor. The processor is responsive to monitored level of current corresponding to a predetermined level to cause the control circuit to remove a supply of electrical power from a start capacitor of the start windings of the motor while the control circuit continues to supply electrical power to the run windings of the motor.
