In case of a double cage induction motor, the inner cage has__________?
Correct answer: A. high inductance arid low resistance
- A. high inductance arid low resistance
- B. low inductance and high resistance
- C. low inductance and low resistance
- D. high inductance and high resistance
Explanation
The inner cage is designed for running performance, so it uses low resistance and deep bars that give high leakage inductance. The outer cage has higher resistance and lower inductance for starting torque.
