Reluctance motor is a________________?
Correct answer: C. self starting type synchronous motor
- A. variable torque motor
- B. low torque variable speed motor
- C. self starting type synchronous motor
- D. low noise, slow speed motor
Explanation
A reluctance motor has a salient rotor and operates as a synchronous motor; in its commonly used polyphase form, it can start as an induction motor and then lock into synchronism. This makes it a self-starting type of synchronous motor.
