Motor and Switch Operation

The polarity of the magnetic field of the start
winding, in relation to the magnetic field of
the run winding, determines the direction of
the rotation of the motor.

The timer is used to reverse the polarity of the

start winding field.

Side A of the start winding is connected to
the common side, B is connected to the line
through the motor switch. The speed selec
tor switch is set for normal speed operation
(Figure 8-10).

As the motor starts running, the motor switch

moves opening the start winding circuit. The
motor is running on the normal speed wind
ing in the direction indicated (Figure 8-11).
