A capacitor-start single phase induction motor is switched on to supply with its capacitor replaced by an inductor of equivalent reactance value. It will______________?
Correct answer: D. not start at all
- A. start and then stop
- B. start and run slowly
- C. start and run at rated speed
- D. not start at all
Explanation
The capacitor produces the phase lead needed to create starting torque in a capacitor-start motor. Replacing it with an inductor produces the opposite phase effect, so the motor will not develop the required starting torque.
