Description
Technical field:
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of motor control circuits, in particular to a motor voltage reduction starting circuit. Background technology:
[0002] Star-delta starting is a step-down starting method for large motors, that is, when the motor is started, the motor is connected in star connection to reduce the instantaneous current of the motor starting, and the motor is changed to delta connection during normal operation to increase the motor operating power. During the star-delta starting process, the switching of the two connection methods is essentially to connect the motor stator winding into a delta or star shape through the normally open contacts of the two contactors. Since the star-connected contactor will be attracted first every time the motor is started and stopped, the running time is short. After long-term operation, the contactor coil will be damaged and cannot be discovered in time. The star connection stage will be skipped during startup, and the delta connection full-voltage start will be performed directly, resulting in the motor being unable to start and the main switch being tripped. In severe cases, the motor will be burned due to excessive load. Utility model content:
