Abstract

Abstract A circuit arrangement for establishing an energizing circuit for alternating current induction motors across a compatible alternating current supply potential source. Two silicon controlled rectifiers, each with a resistor connected across the gate-cathode electrodes thereof, are connected in parallel with each other in an opposite polarity relationship and in series with the motor to be energized and the alternating current input circuit terminals of a full wave diode bridge type rectifier circuit are connected across the silicon controlled rectifiers. Electrical trigger signals produced by an associated control circuit during each potential half cycle of the alternating current supply potential are applied across the negative output terminal of the bridge rectifier circuit and the alternating current input terminals thereof through the respective resistors, in parallel.
