If any two phases for an induction motor are interchanged_______?
Correct answer: A. the motor will run in reverse direction
- A. the motor will run in reverse direction
- B. the motor will run at reduced speed
- C. the motor will not run
- D. the motor will burn
Explanation
Interchanging any two supply phases reverses the rotating magnetic field produced by the stator. The motor therefore develops torque in the opposite direction and runs in reverse.
