Zusammenfassung:Pairs of phases of an AC power source are connected to pairs of phases of a motor in a first sequence that repeats at a first frequency. The motor is braked by connecting pairs of phases of the AC power source to pairs of phases of the motor in a second sequence that is reversed with respect to the first sequence and that repeats at a second frequency less than the first frequency. In further aspects, pairs of phases of an AC power source are connected to pairs of phases of a motor in a first sequence. All of the phases of the motor are subsequently disconnected from the AC power source for a predetermined dwell interval having a duration greater than a time constant of the motor, and thereafter the motor is braked by connecting pairs of phases of the AC power source to pairs of phases of the motor in a second sequence that is reversed with respect to the first sequence. Motor starters implementing such operations are also disclosed.
