While starting a salient pole synchronous motor by induction motor action and connecting field discharge resistance across field, starting and accelerating torque is produced by_____________?

Correct answer: E. all of the above methods

  • A. induction motor torque in field winding
  • B. induction motor torque in damper winding
  • C. eddy current and hysteresis torque in pole faces
  • D. reHetance motor torque due to saliency of the rotor
  • E. all of the above methods

Explanation

During induction starting, current in the damper and field windings produces induction torque, while pole-face losses can add eddy-current and hysteresis torque; rotor saliency also produces reluctance torque. Hence all listed mechanisms may contribute.
