Abstract

See full text

A speed control circuit (50) for a single phase AC induction motor (12) includes a phase control circuit (10) for connecting a main winding (16) to an AC source (18) at a variable time delay phase angle during the half cycle of the AC source, and a boost circuit (52) including a motor speed sensor (54, 56) sensing motor speed and altering the delay interval phase angle in response thereto. The boost circuit shortens the delay interval in response to decreasing motor speed, and lengthens the delay interval in response to increasing motor speed, such that almost full voltage is applied during starting of the motor, which voltage is reduced as the motor begins running.
