If the centrifugal switch of a two-value capacitor motor using two capacitors fails to open then____________?
Correct answer: D. electrolytic capacitor will, in all probability, suffer break down
- A. motor will not come up to speed
- B. motor will not carry the load
- C. current drawn by the motor will be excessively high
- D. electrolytic capacitor will, in all probability, suffer break down
Explanation
If the switch fails to open, the electrolytic starting capacitor remains connected during running, where its alternating-current duty can cause dielectric breakdown. The running winding and capacitor arrangement is not intended for this prolonged starting-capacitor service.
