The motor used for the compressors is____________?

Correct answer: C. capacitor-start capacitor-run motor

  • A. d.c. series motor
  • B. shaded pole motor
  • C. capacitor-start capacitor-run motor
  • D. reluctance motor

Explanation

Compressors require high starting torque and then efficient, quiet continuous operation, which is provided by a capacitor-start, capacitor-run motor. The starting capacitor supplies strong starting torque while the running capacitor improves running power factor and torque.
