Close the power supply switch, rapidly adjust the voltage to 60 v andmeasure the current through the main winding as quickly as possible.Shut off the supply as soon as the reading can be made.I main winding = ______________ Aac (at 60 volts)Assuming current increases linearly, what would the current in thewindings be with 120 volts across them?____________ Aac (120 volts)3. a. Disconnect the leads from the main winding and connect them to theauxiliary winding and capacitor, as shown in Fig. 3.b. Repeat Procedure 2. Remember to take your measurement as quicklyas possible.I aux winding = ___________ Aac (at 60 volts)Assuming current increases linearly, what would the current in thewindings be with 120 volts across them?___________ Aac (120 volts)Capacitor StartMotor60 VoltVoltageVariableACSource88214N4V1++Voltmeter+ Ammeter -+ -25 AmpI1Main1 2CentrifugalSwitch6 7-Auxilary3 4C5Figure 3: Auxiliary winding starting current connection diagram4. a.
