multiple choice questions on induction machines # 15

                              Hi friends, this post is about induction motor objectives. These are some of the questions asked in previous question papers of Gate, IES and other competitive exams. check out and comment if you have any doubts....

2) An induction motor with larger number of slots has................... overload capacity
A) low
B) large
C) no effect on
D) none of these

Ans:B

3) Increase in length of air-gap in an induction motor causes
A) decrease in power factor
