If the capacitor of a single-phase motor is short-circuited
A. the motor will not start
B. the motor will run
C. the motor will run in reverse direction
D. the motor will run in the same direction at reduced r.p.m.
Answer:A
If the capacitor of a single-phase motor is short-circuited
A. the motor will not start B. the motor will run C. the motor will run in reverse direction D. the motor will run in the same direction at reduced r.p.m.
Explanation: Capacitor motors are split-phase motors with a capacitor added to the auxiliary start winding, main run winding, or both to improve the operating torque characteristics of the motor by causing a greater phase shift in the current between the main and auxiliary start windings.
