Diagram for USCG Electrical Assistant: As shown in the two-speed single winding three phase motor connection diagrams...
Aparallel delta
Bseries delta
Cparallel wye
Dseries wye
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) series delta. In the series delta connection scheme, the windings of the three-phase motor are connected in a delta configuration, but the windings are connected in series rather than in parallel. This results in a lower speed operation of the motor compared to the parallel delta connection. The other options are incorrect because: A) Parallel delta would result in higher speed operation. C) Parallel wye would also result in higher speed operation. D) Series wye is a different configuration that would not achieve the low-speed operation shown in the diagram.
