Abstract:
A method of connecting polyphase power to a polyphase induction motor winding comprising a primary winding having a plurality of first phase windings, each of said first phase windings being electrically connected to at least one other of said first phase windings, the method comprising:disposing a tap between a center and a first end of each of said first phase windings;connecting at least one capacitive element in parallel to a portion of each phase winding between the tap and a second end of the phase winding opposite the first end of the phase winding; andconnecting one phase of a polyphase alternating current (ac) power source to an end of each phase winding;wherein said capacitive elements alternately charge and discharge during the application of a polyphase alternating current to said induction motor winding.
