which winding of a splitphase motor has the largest inductan

which winding of a split-phase motor has the largest inductance?

Solution

Main winding has large inductance because it has more number turns compared to auxilary winding. Main winding will present throughout operation of motor and hence it should capable of with standing surge currents, so it should have large inductance.

Auxilary winding is connected only at starting of motor to generate rotating flux as single phase motors are not self start.

main winding has low resistance because it will present while motor is operating, so to decrease loss this winding should have low resistance .
