Abstract

See full text

A circuit includes phase windings, a power switch circuit comprising at least one power switch at a midpoint of the phase windings, a direct current (DC) supply circuit at the midpoint of the phase windings, and one or more non-collapsing DC power supply components to prevent the DC power supply from collapsing when the at least one power switch is on and conducting during one or more portions of a cycle. The one or more non-collapsing DC power supply components each may include one or more of a tap from one of the phase windings electrically connected to the DC power supply, a secondary phase coil winding connected to the DC power supply to power the power supply, one or more resistors between the one of the phase windings and the power switch circuit, one or more Zener diodes between one of the phase windings and the power switch circuit, and/or an electrical component to create a voltage drop between one of the phase windings and the power switch circuit to prevent the power supply from collapsing when the at least one power switch in the power switch circuit is on and conducting.
