only or for speed regulating duty. Fig. 12 illustrates recommended control practice for wound rotor motors.
Typical specifications, for wound rotor motor control are shown on page 642.
Synchronous motor controllers should provide pull-out protection, automatic synchronization or automatic stopping of the motor after pull-out, and insurance of complete starting sequence, as well as overload and low voltage protection. The control may be either magnetic or semi-magnetic at full or reduced voltage. Semi-magnetic starters provide automatic field control but require hand operation for closing the line contactors to'start and transfer to full voltage.
In applying reduced voltage starters to synchronous motors it should

be remembered that, since these motors are started on damper windings and during the acceleration period function similarly to squirrel-cage motors,' the starting torque varies as the square of the applied voltage. Consideration should be given to insure development of sufficient motor torque to accelerate the load.
Typical specifications for synchronous motor control are shown on
page 645.
Multi-Speed control may be either manual or' magnetic, and at full or reduced voltage. When using automatic magnetic control with two-, three-, and four-speed separate winding or consequent pole motors, control may be obtained from a remote point by means of a push button master switch. The various speeds of the motor are obtained from the master switch by simply depressing the correct push button. This is known as selective speed control. It is commonly used in the smaller

theater installations where the fan and motor are located backstage and the speed control is located in the lobby.
Multi-speed motor controllers may be provided with compelling relays which make it necessary for the operator to press the first speed button before regulating the motor to the desired speed. This insures that the motor is always started at low speed before adjusting to one of the higher speeds.
Timing relays which provide for automatic acceleration may be used for control. With this feature the motor will always start at low speed and automatically accelerate, to the desired speed. Decelerating relays may be used to reduce the shock effect of the braking action to the motor and drive when the speed is reduced from a higher to a lower speed.
Single Phase motor control usually consists only of a linestarter, either
