Question

In the normal operation of an induction motor, the rotor turns at less than synchronous speed in order to

A. create less heating of the squirrel-cage bars.
B. develop circulating currents in the stator frame.
C. produce sufficient voltage to develop the required torque.

D. overcome windage and friction losses.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Induction Motor:-

An induction motor, also known as an asynchronous motor, is an AC electric motor in which the magnetic field of the stator winding is used to electromagnetically induct the electric current into the rotor necessary to produce torque.
Therefore, it is possible to construct an induction motor without electrical connections to the rotor.
