Q.

When the applied voltage per phase is reduced to one half, the starting torque of a three-phase squirrel cage induction motor becomes

  • A1/2 of the initial value
  • B1/4  of the initial value
  • CTwice of the initial value
  • D4 times of the initial value
Correct Answer : (B)

1/4  of the initial value

Hints :
Previous

The starting torque of a 3-phase slip ring induction motor can be increased by connecting an external resistance in the

Next

An induction motor can run at synchronous speed when
