Burning out of winding is due to___________?
Correct answer: A. short circuited capacitor
- A. short circuited capacitor
- B. capacitor value hiving changed
- C. open circuiting of capacitor
- D. none of the above
Explanation
A short-circuited capacitor removes the intended impedance and phase shift from the auxiliary circuit, causing excessive current in the winding and possible burnout. A changed capacitor value may reduce performance, but a direct short is the most likely cause among these options.
