Hunting in a synchronous motor cannot be due to___________?
Correct answer: A. windage friction
- A. windage friction
- B. variable load
- C. variable frequency
- D. variable supply voltage
Explanation
Hunting is oscillation of the rotor about its synchronous position and is commonly triggered by changes in load, supply voltage, or frequency. Windage friction is a damping torque, so it does not initiate hunting.
