The maximum constant load torque under which a synchronous motor will pull into synchronism at rated rotor supply voltage and frequency is known as___________?

Correct answer: B. pull-in torque

  • A. pull-up torque
  • B. pull-in torque
  • C. pull-out torque
  • D. none of the above

Explanation

Pull-in torque is the maximum constant load torque at which a synchronous motor can accelerate and lock into synchronism under the specified voltage and frequency. Pull-out torque is instead the maximum torque it can sustain after already operating synchronously.
