As shown in the illustrated wound-rotor induction motor, what statement is true concerning motor lead connections? Illustration EL-0148 Illustration EL-0148: the U.S. Coast Guard has not released this illustration.

Correct Answer: Option C — The "M1, M2, and M3" motor leads are connected to the rotor windings via slip rings and brushes and the "T1, T2, and T3" motor leads are directly connected to the stator windings.

Per standard marine motor design, motor leads T1, T2, and T3 connect directly to the stator windings, whereas M1, M2, and M3 tie into the rotor circuit through external slip rings and carbon brushes.
