,1000 CHAPTER 39 . . 1958 Guide winding. Squirrel-cage induction motors may be 2, 3 or 4 speed. Twospeed induction motors are usually of single winding type, having a 2 to 1 speed ratio such as 600 rpm and 1200 rpm, or may be double winding. Three-speed induction motors are always two winding, and four-speed motors are usually two winding with a 2 to 1 speed ratio in each winding. Motors can be provided in constant torque, varying torque, or . constant horsepower ratings. The constant horsepower type of motor is consider ably larger than the constant torque motor, due to the fact that the same horsepower must be developed at either reduced speed or high speed. In selecting two-speed motors for fan, pump, blower, or compressor applications, it is usually found that two winding motors are more expensive than the single winding type. The control cost for two-speed, two wind ing motors, however, is more economical, and therefore the combined Fia. 3. Speed-Torque Speed-Current Characteristics of Wound Rotob Motobs price of both motor and control for the two winding motor is only slightly higher. Because of the improved performance of the two winding motors, and because of the factor of safety provided by two independent windings, the increased cost is frequently worth the difference. Single Phase Motors Single phase induction motors have auxiliary windings or devices -for starting, and are classified by the method used. Capacitor start motors develop high starting torque in fractional horse power ratings, and moderate starting torque in larger ratings. They are used for constant speed drive such as fans, blowers and centrifugal pumps. During the starting period, a winding with a capacitor in series is connectea to the motor circuit and when the motor comes up to speed, a centrifugal switch cuts the capacitor and second winding out of the circuit. Two-value capacitor motors develop high starting torque employing,,a starting capacitor and a running capacitor. The starting capacitor gw high starting ability, but is suited for short time operation only, arid is cu out for the running condition by a centrifugal switch. The funning ca- Motors and Motor Controls 1001 pacitor gives high efficiency at full speed. These motors are used' on compressors, reciprocating pumps and similar equipment which may start under heavy load. Permanent split capacitor motors have low starting torque and are ideally suited for small fan drives. Operation is similar to the capacitor start motor, except that the capacitor is not cut out when running. Repulsion-Start Induction-Run motors develop high starting torque. The motors have a wound rotor connected to a commutator for starting. A centrifugal switch shorts the commutator bars when the motor comes up to speed to obtain a winding approximately like the squirrel cage in its function. Repulsion-Start Induction-Run motors are suitable for applications, such Table 5.

Split Phase motors have a high resistance auxiliary winding which is in tne circuit during starting, but is disconnected through the action of a centrifugal switch as the motor comes up to speed.
