A pony motor is used for the starting which of the following motors ?
Correct answer: C. Synchronous motor
- A. Squirel cage induction motor
- B. Schrage motor
- C. Synchronous motor
- D. None of the above
Explanation
A synchronous motor cannot develop starting torque at standstill, so a pony motor first brings its rotor close to synchronous speed. The synchronous motor can then be connected and pulled into synchronism.
