- The reason why the starting torque of a series motor is higher than a shunt motor is because the series motor has O more current flowing through its armature O a stronger net magnetic field around both coils during the inrush of stator currentarrow_forwardA 480-volt three-phase load is rated at 34.5 kVA. It is to be supplied with variable three-phase voltage. Because the load is continuous, the transformers ratings are to be increased by 1.25% of the rated load. Three variable autotransformers are used to supply this load. Refer to Table 4-2 and determine the standard size of each transformer that should be used to make this connection.arrow_forwardPlease help me solve this questionarrow_forward
