Following motor is used where high starting torque and wide speed range control is required?
Correct answer: D. D.C. motor
- A. Single phase capacitor start
- B. Induction motor
- C. Synchronous motor
- D. D.C. motor
- E. None of the above
Explanation
A D.C. motor provides high starting torque and its speed can be varied over a wide range by controlling the armature voltage or field flux. The listed single-phase, induction and synchronous motors do not provide this combination as conveniently.
