In a split phase motor, the running winding should have?

Correct answer: B. low resistance and high inductance

  • A. high resistance and low inductance
  • B. low resistance and high inductance
  • C. high resistance as well as high inductance
  • D. low resistance as well as low inductiance

Explanation

The running winding is designed with low resistance and relatively high inductance, giving it a better power factor during normal operation. The starting winding, in contrast, has higher resistance to create the required phase difference.
