The trickle circuit provides the facility of heating

the compressor crankcase by feeding a small
current to the auxiliary winding and the run
capacitor (See the drawings page 14.)
By using PSC or CSR starting systems, compressor
models MT / MTZ 018 - 022 can be operated

without crankcase heaters as the heater function

is provided by the trickle circuit.
For the larger single phase compressor models
MT / MTZ 028 - 064, the use of the PTC crankcase
heater is recommended.

PSC wiring

PSC wiring may be used for refrigerant circuits

with capillary tubes or expansion valves with
bleed ports. Pressure equalization must be

ensured before start-up because of the low

starting torque characteristics of this system.

CSR wiring

CSR wiring provides additional motor torque

at start-up, by the use of a start capacitor in
combination with the run capacitor. This system
can be used for refrigerant circuits with capillary
tubes or expansion valves. The start capacitor is
only connected during the starting operation, a
potential relay is used to disconnect it after the
start sequence.

Some applications with high differential pressure

can require a very high starting torque. For such
cases the CSR starting kit can be converted to
a very high starting torque kit by an additional
start capacitor of 100 F parallel to the start
capacitor of the CSR kit. This configuration
can also be used to reduce erratic starting at
unfavorable conditions such as very low ambient
temperature or weak voltage.
