Which statement is true concerning a split-phase induction motor?
Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation
Correct Answer: Option B — Motor rotation can be reversed by reversing the leads on the starting winding.
In accordance with IEEE 45 guidelines for single-phase induction motors, reversing the polarity of the start winding relative to the main winding shifts the phase displacement field direction, thereby reversing the net starting torque and rotation of the split-phase motor.
