The chief drawback of stator voltage control is

  • A.its inability to reduce the speed of the machine at all
  • B.the very large starting torque it produces
  • C.the need for a separate rotor converter to be provided
  • D.large rotor loss at reduced speed

Answer: D

Correct answer: large rotor loss at reduced speed

Speed is reduced by increasing the slip, and the rotor copper loss is \( sP_g \). Running at 50 per cent slip means half the air gap power is burnt in the rotor, inside the machine, where it is hard to remove. This restricts the method to small machines and to loads whose power demand falls quickly with speed, which limits the running time spent at high slip.
