In a capacitor start and run motors the function of the running capacitor in series with the auxiliary winding is to_______________?
Correct answer: A. improve power factor
- A. improve power factor
- B. increase overload capacity
- C. reduce fluctuations in torque
- D. to improve torque
Explanation
The running capacitor remains in circuit and provides the required phase shift for the auxiliary winding, improving the motor's running power factor. It also helps smooth torque, but power-factor improvement is the primary function listed here.
