Electrical Engineering : Single Phase Induction Motors QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS :: part4 : 16 to 20

Following Electrical Engineering Multiple choice objective type questions and answers will help you in BSNL JTO, GATE 2024 and IES 2024 examinations :

16.Which of the following statements regarding a reluctance motor is incorrect ?

It cannot be reversed, ordinarily
It requires no D.C. field excitation for its operation
It is nothing else but a single-phase, salient pole synchronous-induction motor
Its squirrel cage-rotor is of unsym-metrical magnetic construction in order to vary reluctance path bet�ween stator and rotor

17.If the centrifugal switch of a two-value capacitor motor using two capacitors fails to open then

motor will not come upto speed
motor will not carry the load
current drawn by the motor will be excessively high
electrolytic capacitor will, in all probability, suffer break down

18.If a D.C. series motor is operated on A.C. supply, it will

spark excessively
have poor efficiency
have poor power factor
all of the above

19.Locked rotor current of a shaded pole motor is

equal to full load current
less than full load current
slightly more than full load current
several times the full load current

20.In case of a reluctance motor, when the load is increased so that it cannot maintain synchronous speed the motor will

become unstable
draw excessive armature current and may burn out
fall out of synchronism and come to stand still
run as induction motor
