Question
Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about induction motor:Question 2Answera.The speed of the rotating flux is the same as the speed of the rotorb.The rotating flux induces voltage on the rotorc.The rotor speed is less than the synchronous speed.d.The efficiency of the induction motor depends on operating slip
Solution
The statement that is NOT TRUE about induction motor is:
a. The speed of the rotating flux is the same as the speed of the rotor
This is not true because in an induction motor, the speed of the rotating magnetic field (flux) is always greater than the speed of the rotor. This difference in speed is called slip and it is essential for the induction motor to work. If the rotor speed was the same as the speed of the rotating flux, there would be no relative motion between the two, and hence no induced current in the rotor, making the motor ineffective.
