Q20

Speed torque characteristic of a repulsion induction motor is similar to that of a D.C.

A.
shunt motor
B.
series motor
Answer
C.
compound motor
D.
separately excited motor

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The speed-torque characteristic of a repulsion induction motor is similar to that of a D.C. series motor.

This similarity is due to the fact that both motors exhibit high starting torque and a significant drop in speed with an increase in load.

Such characteristics make these motors suitable for applications requiring high starting torque, like traction systems.
