Split Phase Motor S This motor needs power to the start winding to start C R START WINDING RUN WINDING This motor needs power to the run winding to run A split phase motor is the basic design for motors used in all HVACR applications. The run winding uses heavy wire, while the finer wire of the start winding provides the resistance and phase shift necessary to start the motor. Once the motor is started we need to take the start winding out of the circuit. We can accomplish this with either a current relay or a potential relay. This motor needs a start winding for a phase shift LINE © 2005 Refrigeration Training Services - E2#1 Fan Motors v1.2

Fan Motor with Centrifugal Switch
A mechanical switch is used to de-energize the start winding The switch is attached to the motor shaft After the motor starts, centrifugal force opens the switch The start winding circuit remains open as long as the motor is running © 2005 Refrigeration Training Services - E2#1 Fan Motors v1.2

Split Phase Motor with Centrifugal Switch
Centrifugal switch opens start winding C R S START WINDING RUN WINDING A split phase motor is the basic design for motors used in all HVACR applications. The run winding uses heavy wire, while the finer wire of the start winding provides the resistance and phase shift necessary to start the motor. Once the motor is started we need to take the start winding out of the circuit. We can accomplish this with a centrifugal switch (above) on an open motor, like a fan motor. However enclosed motors, such as compressor motors, use switches like current relays and potential relays. If the switches were located inside the compressor with the motor windings a spark from the contacts could cause the oil and refrigerant vapors to explode.

Motor Speeds The synchronous speed of a motor can be determined by the number of its poles. The more poles, the lower the speed. © 2005 Refrigeration Training Services - E2#1 Fan Motors v1.2
36
Calculating ‘Synchronous’ Motor Speeds
One cycle has two current flow reversals 60 cycles has 120 flow reversals Speed = (60 Hz x 120 reversals) ÷ Poles Example: 7200 ÷ 2 Motor poles = 3600 RPM © 2005 Refrigeration Training Services - E2#1 Fan Motors v1.2

Two Pole Motor Windings
2 Run Windings 2 Start Windings Two Pole Motor Windings Here is a 2-pole stator that runs at 3,500 rpm. The large red windings are the run windings. The small green windings are the start windings. They are smaller for two reasons, one is because the smaller wire resists the flow of electrons which changes the phasing slightly. The second reason is that the small windings are not in the circuit for over 3 seconds. The start winding has more turns and smaller wire than the run winding.

Actual ‘Rotor’ Motor Speed
Slippage is the loss of speed from motor load The ‘rotor’ speed is less than the ‘synchronous’ speed. Common motor speeds: Synchronous: ROTOR: 2 Pole motor: 4 Pole motor: 6 Pole motor: 8 Pole motor: © 2005 Refrigeration Training Services - E2#1 Fan Motors v1.2

Multi-Speed PSC Motors
Actually they are “Multi-horsepower” The windings are tapped so the motor is weaker, running slower under load Example of a 3-speed 1/3 HP motor: High speed is 1/3 HP Medium speed is 1/4 HP Low speed is 1/6 HP © 2005 Refrigeration Training Services - E2#1 Fan Motors v1.2
