A synchronous motor can be started by________?
Correct answer: D. any of the aboveIndustrial Materials & Equipment
- A. pony motor
- B. D.C. compound motor
- C. providing damper winding
- D. any of the aboveIndustrial Materials & Equipment
Explanation
A synchronous motor is not self-starting, so it may be brought near synchronous speed by a pony motor or started as an induction motor using damper windings. A DC compound motor can also serve as a pony motor, making all the listed methods applicable.
