Two-value capacitor motor finds increased application as compressor motor in small home air-conditioners because_____________?

Correct answer: C. it has low starting as well as running currents at relatively high power factor

  • A. it is comparatively cheaper
  • B. it has almost non-destructible capacitor
  • C. it has low starting as well as running currents at relatively high power factor
  • D. it is quiet in operation

Explanation

A two-value capacitor motor uses a large capacitor for starting and a smaller capacitor for running, giving high starting torque with relatively low current and good power factor. These properties suit compressor loads in domestic air-conditioners.
