Abstract

A motor drive system for driving a single-phase PSC motor, in which the two motor windings are conductively isolated from each other, from a two phase power source. In one embodiment, the PSC motor is supplied from a two phase inverter circuit. The PSC motor is also connectable through a four-pole double-throw switch to either a single phase source including a run capacitor or the two phase inverter circuit.
