In an energy meter braking torque is produced to________________?

Correct answer: D. maintain steady speed and equal to driving torque

  • A. safe guard it against creep
  • B. brake the instrument
  • C. bring energy meter to stand still
  • D. maintain steady speed and equal to driving torque

Explanation

The driving torque makes the energy-meter disc rotate, while braking torque opposes it until the disc reaches a steady speed. At that speed, braking torque balances the driving torque.
