The hermetic compressor cannot use a centrifugal switch like an open motor because it will disrupt the start winding. Hermetic compressors work through insulated motor terminals, and not in the open.
A split-phase motor uses a centrifugal switch to energize and de-energize the start winding. The switch is connected in series with the start winding circuit and is typically set to open when the motor reaches about 75-80% of its operating speed, disconnecting the start winding from the power supply.
A single phase induction motor has two sets of coils and a centrifugal start switch. The start winding is in series with the start switch. The start winding provides a rotating magnetic field in one direction enabling the motor to start. The motor can be reversed by reversing the connections of either the start winding or the run winding but not both.
Phase to Phase, Neutral to Neutral, Earth to Earth. If its a new motor it should have the wiring for a capacitor and centrifugal switch done internally. Otherwise run a wire from the phase, through the centrifugal switch, into capacitor, into start winding, and back to neutral. So many different kind of single phase 240v motors though, cap start, cap start cap run etc all involving different wiring
If you are talking about motor control then the answer is yes. There are two things to take into account though. One, is the motor thermally protected. This is for overload protection. On fractional HP motors it will indicate this on the nameplate. If the motor is not protected, then a fractional HP motor switch should be used. Incorporated into this switch is a heater element that the motor current flows through. If the motor current gets over the motor nameplate rating then the heater trips the switch and shuts the motor off. The other thing is that the switch has to be motor rated, currents and voltage matching the motor nameplate ratings. The specific switch has been designed to open motor currents under full motor loads. An ordinary house light switch is not motor load rated and should not be used for this purpose.
Bypassing a centrifugal switch can be dangerous as it is a safety feature designed to prevent the motor from running when not in proper operating conditions. It is not recommended to bypass the centrifugal switch as it can lead to overheating, damage to the motor, and potentially dangerous situations. If you suspect an issue with the centrifugal switch, it is best to consult a professional for repair or replacement.
The centrifugal switch is likely to wear out and require replacement. It could also create a spark which could cause fumes from the oil inside the motor
A centrifugal switch, once the motor reaches near run speed, centrifugal force causes a set of contacts to open and disconnect the start capacitors. Some larger motors use a contactor which is disconnected by the centrifugal switch.
The hermetic compressor cannot use a centrifugal switch like an open motor because it will disrupt the start winding. Hermetic compressors work through insulated motor terminals, and not in the open.
In a single phase electric motor, the centrifugal switch allows the start winding to be energized through the start capacitor when the motor is starting. This gives an out of phase magnetic field that, along with the in phase magnetic field from the run winding, helps the rotor to begin spinning. Once the rotor reaches a certain speed, the centrifugal switch changes state and cuts off the start winding. At that point, the motor continues running only through its run winding, and inertia keeps the rotor properly phase biased relative to the run winding's magnetic field.
If the dryer has a button that says "Push to Start", and you push it and nothing happens, the centrifugal start switch is bad. If you can get to it, and it is an "assembled" switch (as opposed to molded or sonically welded), you can disassemble it and clean it with electrical contact cleaner (available at the large retailers). That will fix it for awhile - possible a long while. But it is not terribly expensive, and to order the factory specified replacement switch for it online is a permanent fix.
A centrifugal switch is an electromechanical device that is used in certain electric motors to disconnect the starting winding once the motor reaches a certain speed. This helps to improve the efficiency of the motor during normal operation by reducing power consumption in the starting winding.
The centrifugal switch in an electric motor, specifically in relation to the auxiliary winding, is designed to disconnect the auxiliary winding from the power supply once the motor reaches a certain speed. This ensures that the auxiliary winding, which aids in starting the motor, is no longer needed during normal operation, preventing overheating and inefficiency. The switch operates based on centrifugal force, typically engaging or disengaging at predetermined RPMs. This mechanism helps optimize the motor's performance and longevity.

It is called a centrifugal switch. The switch is in series with the start winding. When the RPM of the motor reaches a certain speed the switch drops the start winding of the motor out of the circuit.
As the android, Data, from Star Trek would say, it's to assure the drum is operating within normal parameters. If the drum begins to spin too fast the centrifugal switch (actually two switches in unison) cuts off electrical power to the motor to prevent it running away.
