When V is the applied voltage, then the breakdown torque of a synchronous motor varies as_________?

Correct answer: A. V

  • A. V
  • B. V312
  • C. V2
  • D. 1/V

Explanation

For a synchronous motor with constant excitation, the maximum or breakdown torque is proportional to the applied voltage, as shown by Tₘₐₓ ∝ VE/Xs. Therefore, it varies directly as V, not V².
