ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND WIRING
Three phase motor
protection and
suggested wiring
diagram
Three phase compressors are inter-
nally protected by a temperature /
current-sensing bimetallic protector,
connected to the neutral point of
the star-connected stator windings.
This internal overload line break pro-
tects the motor against overheating,
current overload and locked rotor
conditions. If the motor were to be
overloaded and the protector trips, all
3-phases are cut out. It might take up
to several hours to reset and restart
the compressor.

Single phase compressor motors are
internally protected by a temperature
/ current-sensing bimetallic protector
which senses the main and start win-
ding current as well as motor winding
temperature. If the motor were to be
overloaded and the protector trips, it
might take up to several hours to reset
and restart the compressor.
The standard CSR wiring system pro-
vides additional motor torque at start-
up, by the use of a start capacitor in
combination with a run capacitor.
The start capacitor is only connected
during the starting operation and a
potential relay disconnects it after the
start sequence. This sytem can be used
for refrigerant circuits with capillary
tubes or expansion valves.
