AI Explanation

The correct answer is C. The split phase, resistive start, induction run motor is represented by choice C in the illustration EL-0146. This type of motor has a starting winding with a higher resistance than the main winding, which allows it to provide high starting torque. The starting winding is disconnected once the motor reaches a certain speed, and the motor then runs on the main induction winding. This configuration is commonly used for applications that require high starting torque, such as air compressors and washing machines. The other options, A, B, and D, represent different types of single-phase induction motors within the split phase family, but they do not specifically depict the split phase, resistive start, induction run motor.
