Direction of rotation of a split phase motor can be reversed by reversing the connection of__________?
Correct answer: C. either A. or (b)
- A. running winding only
- B. starting winding only
- C. either A. or (b)
- D. both A. and (b)
Explanation
The direction depends on the relative phase between the main and starting windings. Reversing either winding alone reverses that phase relationship and hence reverses rotation, while reversing both leaves the direction unchanged.
