3

Question 37

Reduced voltage starting method that is adjustable the entire way

Answer 37

Solid state

Question 38

Multi winding motors, can you apply more voltage across each winding?

Answer 38

No. Each winding is rated for a maximum set voltage Eg. 240 volts is 2 windings in series (120 per winding) 120 is 2 windings in parallel (120 per winding still) Part winding is reduced voltage on one winding (120 per winding)
