Explanation of Solution

Refer to Figure 33-2 in the Textbook, which illustrates the common motor connections of the four-speed, two winding motors with different speeds.

The idle winding of the motor remains to be open circuited in running state on given speeds. Through open circuiting, energizing windings can be prevented from imposing of unnecessary electrical loads. These loads can result from the transformer action which produces the circulating currents in the secondary, idle winding.

Conclusion:

Thus, the reason for the idle winding to remain open circuited in the running condition of a four speed, two winding motor is explained.
