Q20
Speed torque characteristic of a repulsion induction motor is similar to that of a D.C.
A.
shunt motor
B.
series motor
AnswerC.
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.
