If starting winding of a single-phase induction motor is left in the circuit, it will____________?
Correct answer: C. draw excessive current and overheat
- A. run faster
- B. spark at light loads
- C. draw excessive current and overheat
- D. run slower
Explanation
The starting winding is designed for short-time operation; if it remains connected, it draws excessive current and overheats. The centrifugal switch normally removes it after the motor accelerates.
