motor will not come up to speed
motor will not carry the load
current drawn by the motor will be excessively high
electrolytic capacitor will, in all probability, suffer break down
Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: C. current drawn by the motor will be excessively high.
A centrifugal switch is a device that is used to disconnect the starting capacitor from the motor circuit once the motor has reached a certain speed. If the centrifugal switch fails to open, the starting capacitor will remain in the circuit, which will cause the motor to draw an excessively high current. This can damage the motor and may even cause it to catch fire.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option A is incorrect because the motor will still come up to speed, but it will draw an excessively high current.
- Option B is incorrect because the motor will still carry the load, but it will draw an excessively high current.
- Option D is incorrect because the electrolytic capacitor is not likely to suffer breakdown if the centrifugal switch fails to open. The starting capacitor is more likely to suffer breakdown in this situation.
