Which of the pictured motors within the split phase family of single phase induction motors represents a capacitor start, induction run motor? Illustration EL-0146

Correct Answer: Option A — A

Figure A in illustration EL-0146 depicts a capacitor-start, induction-run motor. This configuration utilizes a centrifugal switch in series with a starting capacitor and auxiliary winding. Once the motor reaches approximately 75% of synchronous speed, the switch opens, disconnecting the capacitor to prevent overheating while the motor continues running.
