In a split phase motor, the running winding should have
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 inductance
Answer:B
In a split phase motor, the running winding should have
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 inductance
Explanation: The starting winding is wound with fewer turns of thin wire than the running winding, so it has a lower inductance (L) and higher resistance (R).
