The maximum torque of an induction motor is independent of

  • A.the rotor reactance
  • B.the supply frequency at which the machine is being operated
  • C.the rotor resistance
  • D.the applied stator voltage

Answer: C

Correct answer: the rotor resistance

The maximum torque is

\[ T_{max} = \frac{3}{2\omega_s}\cdot\frac{V^2}{2X_2} \]

in which the rotor resistance does not appear. Adding rotor resistance therefore moves the peak but does not raise or lower it. The applied voltage, the rotor reactance and the supply frequency all do affect it, the voltage as its square.
