When a 120-volt supply circuit is used, where should the motor leads be connected?

Connecting the motor leads to the T-strips is the correct choice because T-strips are typically used as terminals for connecting wiring in electrical systems. They provide a secure and reliable method to distribute power to multiple outputs. When working with a 120-volt supply circuit, it's essential for the motor leads to be properly connected to ensure that the motor receives adequate voltage and current for its operation.

Using T-strips allows for organized connections, reducing the risk of loose connections or shorts, which could lead to operational inefficiencies or electrical hazards. This connection method provides the structural support needed to ensure the motor leads are stable and securely attached, facilitating safe and effective operation of the motor.

Other options, such as connecting to the main power strip, the capacitor, or the thermal overload, would not be appropriate for connecting motor leads directly. Each of these components serves a different purpose within the electrical system. The main power strip is meant for providing general power supply to devices, the capacitor is involved in power factor correction or phase shift, and the thermal overload is a protective device that interrupts the circuit in case of overheating, rather than being a connection point for motor leads.
