In split-phase motor auxiliary winding is of___________?
Correct answer: C. thin wire placed at the top of the slots
- A. thick wire placed at the bottom of the slots
- B. thick wire placed at the top of the slots
- C. thin wire placed at the top of the slots
- D. thin wire placed at the bottom of the slots
Explanation
The auxiliary winding uses thin, high-resistance wire and is placed toward the top of the slots, while the main winding uses thicker wire. This resistance difference creates the phase displacement needed for starting torque.
