A synchronous motor will always stop when:______________?

Correct answer: C. excitation winding gets disconnected

  • A. supply voltage fluctuates
  • B. load in motor varies
  • C. excitation winding gets disconnected
  • D. supply voltage frequency changes

Explanation

If the excitation winding is disconnected, the rotor field collapses and the motor loses synchronism, so it cannot continue normal synchronous operation. Ordinary load or voltage changes do not necessarily make it stop.
