Two-Speed Constant Torque Winding
Two-Speed Constant Torque Winding
(OP)
The ratio: low speed HP / hi speed HP is usually 1:2, for the majority of two-speed Dahlander motors with constant torque winding. However, there are many such motors where the ratio is 1: 1.5. Are the internal connection diagrams and wiring the same in both cases or they are different? Does anyone have an example?

I know what is the PAM winding, but my question is not about the PAM windings than about the two speed, constant torque , Dahlander windings with speed ratio 1:2 .

Probably, you thought:
"The Dahlanders seem to be constant torque 2Y/D connections."

You talk about the difference between constant torque and variable torque, but my question relates only to constant torque, ie question is: is the internal connection diagram the same for both cases:
- the two-speed Dahlander constant torque, D/YY winding with HP ratio 1: 2,
- the two-speed Dahlander constant torque, D/YY winding with HP ratio 1: 1,5

Now I'm really going to confuse things. From a WEG motor catalog in reference to Dahlander two speed motors:
"Constant torque:
Torque is constant on both speeds and rated power ratio is 0.63:1 In this case, motor has a D/YY connection.
Example: 0.63/1HP motor – IV/II pole - D/YY.
This connection is suitable for applications where the load torque curve remains constant with the speed variation."
The .63:1 power ratio can be re-written as 1:1.58, if it is truly a "constant torque" connection you'd expect a 1:2 power ratio. Any one have any ideas.

I checked with one of EASA's Engineers and he gave me the following reply:
"NEMA uses an artificially simple 2:1 or constant torque, and 4:1 for variable torque, where the IEC motors use the actual torque / KW ratio instead."
Based on that reply the answer to your OP would be yes, the internal connection diagrams and wiring are the same.
Thanks

I would also agree that the statement that the typically quoted 2:1 or 1:1 HP ratio is a simplification and many motors do not actually have a 2:1 or 1:1 HP ratio.
