When a nine-lead delta connected motor is wired for low voltage, the phase coils are connected in ____.

A) conjunction
B) pairs
C) parallel
D) series

Delta Connected Motor

A three-phase motor configuration where the end of each winding is connected to the start of another winding, forming a closed loop resembling the Greek letter Delta (Δ).

Low Voltage

Low voltage refers to electrical systems or circuits operating at a voltage level that is lower than the standard mains electricity, typically considered to be below 50 volts.

Phase Coils

Phase coils are windings in an electric machine that are electrically phase-displaced from each other to create a rotating magnetic field for the operation of the machine.

  • Master the arrangements (wye and delta) utilized in three-phase motors and their effect on motor voltage and functionality.

Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
In a nine-lead delta connected motor wired for low voltage, the phase coils are connected in parallel. This configuration allows the motor to operate at a lower voltage by effectively reducing the voltage across each coil, while maintaining the same power level.
