In an induction motor, no-load the slip is generally____________?
Correct answer: A. less than 1%
- A. less than 1%
- B. 1.5%
- C. 2%
- D. 4%
Explanation
At no load, the rotor runs close to synchronous speed, so only a small slip is needed to produce the torque required for losses. It is generally below 1%, whereas the higher values represent loaded operation.
