Motor circuit [t-head1-pg]
4 speeds [t-head3]
The 1:2 speeds - tapped windings - can follow in sequence or overlap, as the following examples show:
| 1st winding
|
500/1 000
|
2nd winding
|
1 500/3 000 = 500/1 000/1 500/3 000
|
|||
| or
1st winding |
500/1 000 |
2nd winding |
750/1 500 = 500/750/1 000/1 500 |
For motors with 3 or 4 speeds the non-connected winding has to be opened at certain pole ratios to avoid inductive circulating currents. This is achieved with additional motor terminals. A range of rotary switches is equipped with this connection (→ section Multi-Speed Switches).
