An induction motor is__________?
Correct answer: C. self-starting with low torque
- A. self-starting with zero torque
- B. self-starting with high torque
- C. self-starting with low torque
- D. non-self starting
Explanation
A three-phase induction motor is self-starting because its stator produces a rotating magnetic field, but its starting torque is comparatively low. This distinguishes it from a synchronous motor, which is not inherently self-starting.
