In a capacitor start single-phase motor, when capacitor is replaced by a resistance____________?

Correct answer: D. motor will continue to run in same direction

  • A. torque will increase
  • B. the motor will consume less power
  • C. motor will run in reverse direction
  • D. motor will continue to run in same direction

Explanation

Replacing the capacitor with a resistance still creates a phase difference between the main and auxiliary winding currents, so the motor continues in its established direction. The starting torque and efficiency generally decrease, but the direction does not reverse.
