Within the split phase family of single phase motors, what are the operational characteristics of the motor shown in figure "B" of the illustration? Illustration EL-0207

Correct Answer: Option C — Relatively high starting torque and relatively low running efficiency

The capacitor-start, induction-run motor (Figure B) is engineered for high starting torque applications. While the capacitor provides excellent starting performance, the auxiliary winding is disconnected after startup, resulting in lower running efficiency compared to permanent-split capacitor designs, which maintain the capacitor in the circuit during normal operation.
