What happens if the centrifugal switch does not open?
What happens if the centrifugal switch does not open? If the start switch does not open when it is needed, the start winding will overheat and flame out, and the engine will not start next time. If the centrifugal start switch is not closed, the engine will overheat the main winding without any main winding failure.

How the centrifugal switch is connected?
A centrifugal switch is an electric switch that operates using the centrifugal force created from a rotating shaft, most commonly that of an electric motor or gasoline engine. The switch is designed to activate or de-activate as a function of the rotational speed of the shaft.

At what percentage does a centrifugal switch open?
70-80%
The centrifugal switch on a typical single-phase or split phase electric motor is designed to OPEN at 70-80% of the motor’s full speed.
How do you test a centrifugal switch?
Quote from the video:
Quote from Youtube video: And slide the switch off the end of the shaft. Locate the points on the contact plate and make sure they are in the open position. If. They are closed bend the circular spring flat.
Why centrifugal switch is connected in series with the starting winding?
The motor has a centrifugal switch inside its case, attached to the motor shaft. The centrifugal switch turns on a circuit, providing the needed boost to start the motor. Once the motor comes up to its operating speed, the switch turns off (disconnects auxiliary winding) the boost circuit, and the motor runs normally.
What will happen if the centrifugal switch fails to open after the motor has reached high enough speed in a capacitor start and run type single-phase induction motor?
If the centrifugal switch fails to open at 50 to 70 percent of the synchronous speed of the motor, then the starting winding will overheat and burn out and the motor will not start next time.
What will happen if the starting winding is not disconnected during normal running condition of the motor?
The motor will continue to rotate.
What is the difference between starting winding and running winding?
Also starting winding have more number of turns and conductor size will be less and whereas running winding have less number of turns and size of conductor will be large compared to starting winding.

How are start and run windings connected?
The wire size in the starting winding is smaller than that of the running winding. These coils are placed on top of the running winding coils in the stator slots nearest to the rotor. Both the starting and running windings are connected in parallel to the single-phase line when the motor is started.
Which winding is the start winding?
A startup winding, also known as the auxiliary winding, is used to create the torque needed to start a single phase induction motor.
Which winding has more resistance start or run?
When the motor is starting, the startup winding is connected to the power source via a centrifugal switch which is closed at low speed. The starting winding is wound with fewer turns of smaller wire than the main winding, so it has a lower inductance (L) and higher resistance (R).
Why do we use 2 windings in a single phase motor?
Adding aCapacitor in series with the start winding creates a larger phase shift and movement in the magnetic field which provides more starting Torque for applications where the motor must start under a load.
Can a single phase motor run without a capacitor?
Answer: There are three common types of single-phase motors named capacitor motor, shaded pole motor and split phase motors. Shaded pole and split phase single-phase motors do not require a capacitor to run.

How do 2 speed single phase motors work?
Two speed, single winding motors are of the design that is called consequent pole. These motors are wound for one speed but when the winding is reconnected, the number of magnetic poles within the stator is doubled and the motor speed is reduced to one-half of the original speed.
