Pole-changing motors

Motor circuit [t-head1-pg]

Circuit A
Selection of any speed only from zero. Return only to zero.
 
Circuit B
Selection of any speed from zero and from low speed. Return only to zero.
 
Circuit C
Selection of any speed from zero and from low speed. Return to low speed (high braking torque) or to zero.

 

 

       

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).
