If the centrifugal switch does not open at 70 to 80 percent of synchronous speed of motor, it would result in_________?
Correct answer: A. damage to the starting winding
- A. damage to the starting winding
- B. damage to the centrifugal switch
- C. overloading of running winding
- D. none of the above
Explanation
If the centrifugal switch remains closed, the starting winding stays energized after the motor has accelerated. The high current in this winding causes overheating and can damage it.
