In a split phase motor____________?
Correct answer: A. the starting winding is connected through a centrifugal switch
- A. the starting winding is connected through a centrifugal switch
- B. the running winding is connected through a centrifugal switch
- C. both starting and running windings are connected through a centrifugal switch
- D. centrifugal switch is used to control supply voltage
Explanation
In a split-phase motor, the centrifugal switch disconnects the high-resistance starting winding after the motor accelerates. The main running winding remains connected to the supply.
