    Re: Star/Delta, but not as I know it.

    For configuration with 2 phase and condenser Google "Steinmetz circuit".

    Operation of three-phase Motors in single-phase supply
    Induction motors with a three-phase stator winding can
    either be driven from a three-phase supply or from a
    single-phase supply when suitably connected with a
    capacitor (Steinmetz circuit, Fig. 2a and fig. 2b).
    A three-phase induction motor with its stator connected
    in star for a 380V three-phase supply has 220V as phase
    voltage. The motor can therefore also run on a 220V threephase
    supply when delta connected. If the motor is designed
    for 125/220V then its phase voltage is only 125V and
    the motor must be connected in star for a three-phase supply
    of 220V.
    The Steinmetz circuit gives similar characteristics to threephase
    operation but with a single-phase supply.The motor
    runs as a three-phase machine, if the capacitor voltage
    causes a symmetrical voltage star at the rotor windings as
    with a three-phase supply. A symmetrical voltage
    distribution can however only be obtained with a certain
    capacitor at a certain load. For all other loads an asymmetrical
    voltage star is formed at the rotor, so that the
    motor can no longer operate under optimum conditions.
    The starting torque is reduced and the heat
    generation in the motor can become higher at no load
    than at full load.
    Experience has shown that with a voltage supply of
    220V, 50 Hz, a capacitance of 70 mF/kW of motor power
    is necessary in order to give a starting torque of 30% of
    rated torque and in operation about 80% of the rated
    three-phase power.
    In order to obtain a higher starting torque, a starting
    capacitor with about double the capacitance must be
    connected in parallel. This must be switched off during
    run up to avoid overloading the motor. The direction of
    rotation can be reversed by connecting the capacitor to
    the other supply connection.
    The voltage across the capacitor terminals in the
    “Steinmetz” circuits is, at the rated power of the motor, about
    the value of the supply voltage, and under no load about
    15% higher.
    If the “open star circuit” should be used for a special
    application please state this when ordering in order that
    the correct capacitor can be supplied. This circuit can
    be used when 125/220V three-phase motors are to
    operated from a 220V single-phase supply.


    I would say this setup is for 3 speed
    1 - Steinmetz (KM11 and KM11A energized)
    2 - one winding in star (KM12 energized)
    3 - both winding energized in star (KM11 and KM12 energized)
