VR Series for 115 Vac or 115/230 Vac Dual Voltage Capacitor
Start/Capacitor Run Motors
Basic Operation
Capacitor start/capacitor run motors provide continuous voltage sensing information which can be
used to extract speed data from the voltage across the motor start winding. By comparing this start
winding RPM-sensitive voltage to the main AC input voltage (which serves as a reference voltage), the
switch determines when the start circuit should be de-energized. The electronic switch interrupts the
start circuit current after the motor has accelerated to the cut out voltage (speed), and reconnects the
start circuit whenever the speed sensitive circuit senses the motor voltage (speed) has decreased to a
preselected cut in voltage (RPM) level.
Capacitor start/capacitor run motors exhibit current transients and higher voltages across the start
switch. These electrical stresses occur due to the switching of the two capacitors (start and run) that
are connected in parallel during motor start and may have different voltages at time of restart. These
stresses occur at restart with both mechanical and electronic start switches. The VR switch features
circuitry designed to eliminate the effects of these conditions.

2CV Series for 230 Vac Capacitor Start Motors and
2VR Series for 230 Vac Capacitor Start/Capacitor Run Motors
Basic Operation
Capacitor start/capacitor run motors and capacitor start motors provide continuous
voltage sensing information which can be used to extract speed data from the voltage
across the motor start (auxiliary) winding. By comparing this start (auxiliary) winding
RPM-sensitive voltage to the main AC input voltage (which serves as a reference
voltage), the switch determines when the start circuit should be de-energized. The
electronic switch interrupts the start circuit current after the motor has accelerated to the
cut out speed, and reconnects the start circuit whenever the motor speed has decreased
to a preselected cut in RPM level.
Capacitor start/capacitor run motors exhibit current transients and higher voltages
across the start switch. This electrical stress is due to the voltage differential which may
exist between the start and run capacitors at the instant of switch closure. This stress
phenomenon occurs with both mechanical and electronic type start switches. SINPAC
Switches have voltage detection circuitry to minimize the effects of these conditions.
