Synchronous Motor MCQs Part 7

Electrical Engineering MCQs on Synchronous Motor

While starting a synchronous motor by induction motor action, the field winding is generally

While starting a synchronous motor by induction motor action, the field winding is generally

  1. Connected to D.C. supply
  2. Kept open-circuited
  3. Short-circuited by low resistance
  4. None of these

Correct answer: 3. Short-circuited by low resistance

A synchronous machine with large air gap has

A synchronous machine with large air gap has

  1. A higher synchronizing power which makes the machine less sensitive to load variations
  2. A higher value of stability limit
  3. A small value of inherent regulation
  4. All of these

Correct answer: 4. All of these

If field circuit of an unloaded salient pole synchronous motor gets suddenly open-circuited then

If field circuit of an unloaded salient pole synchronous motor gets suddenly open-circuited then

  1. It continues to run at the same speed
  2. It runs at a slower speed
  3. It runs at a very high speed
  4. The motor stops

Correct answer: 4. The motor stops
