    Question

    During the start-up of a resistance-start motor, the centrifugal switch ______ until the motor speeds up.

    A.

    Closes and connects the start winding only

    B.

    Closes and connects the run winding only

    C.

    Opens and disconnects the run winding

    D.

    Opens and disconnects the start winding

    E.

    Opens and connects the start winding and runwinding

    Correct option is D

    Function of a centrifugal switch: In a resistance-start motor, the centrifugal switch is designed to disconnect the start winding once the motor reaches a certain speed, allowing it to operate solely on the run winding for efficient operation at normal speeds.

    Starting process: When the motor first starts, the start winding is connected in series with the run winding to provide additional torque for initial acceleration.

    Switch action: As the motor speeds up, the centrifugal force generated by the rotating rotor causes the switch to open, effectively disconnecting the start winding from the circuit.
