Which of the following motor will have relatively higher power factor ?
Correct answer: A. Capacitor run motor
- A. Capacitor run motor
- B. Shaded pole motor
- C. Capacitor start motor
- D. Split phase motor
Explanation
The running capacitor supplies the phase-shifted current continuously and improves the motor's power factor during operation. A capacitor-start motor uses its capacitor mainly for starting, while shaded-pole and split-phase motors have poorer power factors.
