Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Power Electronics - Quiz(MCQ)
The torque produced by a single-phase induction motor fed by an ac voltage controller for speed control due to
A)
A fundamental component of current only
B)
A fundamental component of harmonics only
C)
Fundamental component and even harmonics
D)
A fundamental component of harmonics as well as current

Correct Answer : Option (A) :   A fundamental component of current only


Explanation : Single-phase induction motors work on single-phase AC supply. It has two windings; Main windings and auxiliary winding. For speed control of a single-phase induction motor by an ac voltage controller, and only a fundamental component of current is required to develop a toque. The harmonics in the motor current may cause power losses resulting in heating of the motor.
