A dc drive is easier to control than an early ac drive because

  • A.its speed is entirely independent of the load it is driving
  • B.its torque follows a single current directly
  • C.its armature contains no inductance to slow the current response
  • D.it requires no converter of any kind between the supply and the machine

Answer: B

Correct answer: its torque follows a single current directly

In a dc machine \( T = k\Phi I_a \), and with the flux held constant the torque is proportional to one measurable current, which a simple loop can regulate. Field and armature are physically separate and orthogonal, so controlling one does not disturb the other. An early ac drive had no such handle: only with field-oriented control, which resolves the stator current into flux and torque components, did the induction machine acquire the same property.
