The crawling in the induction motor is caused by____________?

Correct answer: C. harmonics develped in the motor

  • A. low voltage supply
  • B. high loads
  • C. harmonics develped in the motor
  • D. improper design of the machine
  • E. none of the above

Explanation

Crawling is caused by harmonic torque, especially the seventh space harmonic, which can produce a low-speed torque near one-seventh of synchronous speed. Low voltage or heavy load may worsen operation but does not cause the phenomenon.
