As shown in the illustration, what type of motor and motor starter are featured? EL-0137

Correct Answer: Option D — non-reversing squirrel cage induction motor with reduced voltage autotransformer starting

The schematic illustrates an autotransformer starter, identified by the presence of the transformer bank and the specific sequence of starting and running contactors. Because the diagram lacks reversing contactors (typically labeled F and R), it is classified as a non-reversing configuration, consistent with standard marine motor control circuit design.
