The torque developed in the cage induction motor with autostarter is___________?

Correct answer: C. K2 x torque with direct switching

  • A. k/torque with direct switching
  • B. K x torque with direct switching
  • C. K2 x torque with direct switching
  • D. k2/torque with direct switching

Explanation

If the autotransformer voltage ratio is k, motor starting current and torque are reduced, with starting torque becoming k² times the direct-on-line torque. Thus the torque reduction follows the square of the voltage ratio.
