The purpose of starting winding in single phase induction motor is to
The purpose of starting winding in single phase induction motor is to:
- Limit temperature rise of temperature
- Produce rotating flux in conjunction with main winding
- Reduce the losses
- None of these
Correct answer: 2. Produce rotating flux in conjunction with main winding

As compared to resistance split induction motors, the capacitor motors are:
- Costlier
- Less costly
- Any of these
- None of these
Correct answer: 1. Costlier

A 4 pole, 250 W, 115 V, 60 Hz capacitor start induction motor takes a full-load line current of 5.5 A when running at 1770 RPM. The full-load efficiency of motor is 65%. The slip is
A 4 pole, 250 W, 115 V, 60 Hz capacitor start induction motor takes a full-load line current of 5.5 A when running at 1770 RPM. The full-load efficiency of motor is 65%. The slip is:
- 0.7%
- 1.2%
- 1.7%
- 4.7%
Correct answer: 3. 1.7%
Synchronous speed (Ns) = 120f/P = 120*60/4 = 1800 RPM
——————–
Slip (s) = (Ns – N)/Ns = (1800 – 1770)/1800 = 0.017 = 1.7%
A capacitor start, capacitor-run motor has
A capacitor start, capacitor-run motor has:
- High starting torque
- Low power factor
- High power factor
- Low efficiency
Correct answer: 3. High power factor
Explanation: The capacitor start, capacitor-run motor is similar to the capacitor-start type with the exception that the stating winding remains in circuit after motor is started. Such a motor, as a result of the aforementioned operates at higher power factor.
