Under which of the following conditions hunting of synchronous motor is likely to occur?

Correct answer: A. Periodic variation of load

  • A. Periodic variation of load
  • B. Over-excitation
  • C. Over-loading for long periods
  • D. Small and constant load

Explanation

Hunting is the oscillation of the rotor about its equilibrium position when the torque or load changes periodically. A periodic variation of load repeatedly disturbs the rotor angle and produces this effect.
