The supply voltage to an induction motor is decreased by 10%. By what percentage, approximately, will the maximum torque decrease?(a) 5%(b) 10%(c) 20%(d) 40%The question was asked by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.Query is from Synchronous Machine Stability in division Synchronous Machine Stability of Electrical Machines

Answer»
