167 words
A CONTROL CIRCUIT FOR A MOTOR OF A REFRIGERANT COMPRESSOR, COMPRISING A FIRST RELAY HAVING AN ENERGIZING COIL, AND HAVING A NORMALLY OPEN SWITCH WHICH CLOSES WHEN SAID COIL IS ENERGIZED; A THERMAL RELAY HAVING A HEATER RESISTOR CONNECTED ACROSS SAID COIL, HAVING A NORMALLY CLOSED SWITCH WHICH OPENS AFTER SAID RESISTOR IS ENERGIZED, AND HAVING A NORMALLY OPEN SWITCH WHICH CLOSES AFTER SAID RESISTOR IS ENERGIZED; ELECTRIC SUPPLY CONNECTIONS; A CONTROL SWITCH; MEANS INCLUDING SAID CONTROL SWITCH AND SAID NORMALLY CLOSED SWITCH IN SERIES FOR CONNECTING SAID COIL AND SAID RESISTOR TO SAID CONNECTIONS; A STARTER RELAY FOR SAID MOTOR, SAID STARTER RELAY HAVING AN ENERGIZING COIL, AND HAVING A NORMALLY OPEN SWITCH WHICH CLOSES WHEN SAID LAST MENTIONED COIL IS ENERGIZED; MEANS INCLUDING SAID LAST MENTIONED SWITCH FOR CONNECTING SAID MOTOR TO SAID CONNECTIONS, AND MEANS INCLUDING SAID NORMALLY OPEN SWITCH OF SAID THERMAL RELAY AND SAID SWITCH OF SAID FIRST RELAY IN SERIES FOR CONNECTING SAID COIL OF SAID STARTER RELAY TO SAID CONNECTIONS.
