Electrical Engineering XYZ MCQs
Which motor cannot be started on no load:
- Series motors
- Cumulative compound motors
- Both of the above
- Shunt motors
Correct answer: 1. Series motors
Explanation: Series motors are characterized by high starting torque, which makes them suitable for applications where heavy loads need to be started. However, they lack speed regulation, and starting them with no load can lead to dangerously high speeds, which can damage the motor.
