The great advantage of the double squirrel-cage induction motor over single cage rotor is that its _________(a) efficiency is higher(b) power factor is higher(c) slip is larger(d) starting current is lowerThe question was asked in an interview for internship.I'm obligated to ask this question of Induction Motor as a Transformer topic in section Induction Machines of Electrical Machines |
Answer» RIGHT option is (d) starting current is lower For explanation I would say: The OUTER cage has higher resistance and low reactance while VICE versa for the inner cage. So at starting the current is confined to outer cage with the reduction in starting current IMPROVING the TORQUE. |
