Abstract

A control circuit for a motor includes a thyristor connected to apply current to the motor, and a phase shift circuit for controlling the thyristor including a series RC circuit connected in parallel with the thyristor. The junction of the resistor and capacitor is connected to the control electrode of the thyristor. A transformer has a primary winding connected in parallel with the capacitor, and a variable resistor, which may be remotely located, connected in series with the secondary winding, for varying the phase shift of the phase shift circuit.
