True/False
Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
 

 1. 

Across-the-line starting is the simplest of all starting methods.
 

 2. 

Across-the-line starting is only used for alternating current.
 

 3. 

The type of bars used to construct the rotor has a great effect on the operating characteristics of the motor.
 

 4. 

Direct current motors depend on inductive reactance to limit current flow.
 

 5. 

Contactors intended to connect direct current motors to the line often have arc suppression and magnetic blowout coils.
 

Completion
Complete each statement.
 

 6. 

The type of rotor is identified by a code letter on the ____________________ of a motor.
 

 

 7. 

In-rush current is referred to a(n) ____________________ current.
 

 

 8. 

In a DC contactor with two coils, the ____________________ coil is intended for momentary duty and not continuous operation.
 

 

 9. 

Direct current motors require only one ____________________ contact to connect or disconnect them to the power line and one overload sensing device.
