A Capacitor Start Capacitor Run (CSCR) motor that is wired with a potential relay will have the start winding energized when the relay's contacts open.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a Capacitor Start Capacitor Run (CSCR) motor wired with a potential relay, the start winding is energized when the motor starts. The potential relay opens its contacts when the motor reaches a sufficient speed, disconnecting the start capacitor from the circuit, but the start winding is initially energized to help start the motor.
