Just so, how do you determine starting winding and running winding?

The way to determine which is which, is to measure the resistance of the winding. Use your multimeter and set it to the ohm scale. Now measure the resistance of each winding and write it down. The highest reading you obtained is the starting winding and the lower reading is the running winding.

why starting winding resistance is high? The main winding has a high inductance and a low resistance. The current, therefore, lags the voltage by a large angle. The starting winding is designed to have a fairly low inductance and a high resistance. Here the current lags the voltage by a smaller angle.

Also to know is, which winding has more resistance start or run?

Understanding the Readings We know that the start winding has the highest resistance and the run winding the lowest.

What is main winding and auxiliary winding?

The stator winding in the 1Ø induction motor has two parts: Main Winding and Auxiliary Winding. Usually, the Auxiliary winding is perpendicular to the main winding. In 1Ø induction motor the winding with more turns is known as main winding. While the other wire is called as auxiliary winding.
