Starting device for single-phase induction motor
A starter of single-phase induction motor having main winding and auxiliary winding energized by alternating current power source, including a casing, a positive characteristic thermistor connected in series to the auxiliary winding, an auxiliary positive characteristic thermistor connected parallel to the positive characteristic thermistor, a bimetal, and an enclosed compartment accommodated in the casing for enclosing the snap action bimetal and auxiliary positive characteristic thermistor.
1. A starter of single-phase induction motor having main winding and auxiliary winding energized by alternating current power source, comprising:
a casing,
a positive characteristic thermistor connected in series to the auxiliary winding,
an auxiliary positive characteristic thermistor connected parallel to the positive characteristic thermistor and a snap action bimetal,
the snap action bimetal connected in series to a series circuit of auxiliary winding and positive characteristic thermistor for sensing the heat from the auxiliary positive characteristic thermistor and turning off when reaching a set temperature, and
an enclosed compartment accommodated in the casing, for enclosing the snap action bimetal and auxiliary positive characteristic thermistor;
wherein the snap action bimetal is composed of a movable contact plate for oscillating a movable contact point, a bimetal, and a plate spring of semicircular section interposed between first support point of the movable contact plate and second support point of the bimetal.
2. The starter of single-phase induction motor of claim 1 , wherein the snap action bimetal is a bimetal processed by drawing.
3. The starter of single-phase induction motor of claim 1 , wherein the snap action bimetal is a bimetal processed by forming in a circular form in the center.
