Moderate

In a synchronous motor it the back e.m.f. generated in the armature at noload is approximately equal to the applied voltage, then

Correct answer: D. the excitation is said to be hundred per cent

  • A. the motor is said to be fully loaded
  • B. the torque generated is maximum
  • C. the excitation is said to be zero per cent
  • D. the excitation is said to be hundred per cent

Explanation

With negligible armature impedance drop at no load, an induced back e.m.f. equal to the applied voltage corresponds to 100% excitation, since excitation percentage is approximately Eb/V × 100.
