The chief objection to rotor resistance control is that

  • A.it cannot reduce the speed of the machine below its synchronous value
  • B.it reduces the maximum torque the machine is able to develop
  • C.it requires the stator voltage to be varied at the same time
  • D.the slip power is wasted in the resistance

Answer: D

Correct answer: the slip power is wasted in the resistance

The rotor circuit carries \( sP_g \), and in this scheme all of it is dissipated as heat in the external resistors. At 30 per cent slip that is nearly a third of the air gap power thrown away, so the efficiency is roughly \( 1 - s \). The method does reduce the speed below synchronous, and it leaves the maximum torque untouched; it is the wasted energy that condemns it, and the slip power recovery schemes exist precisely to reclaim it.
