Assertion (A): Rotor resistance control is inefficient.

Reason (R): Reducing the speed increases the slip and hence the rotor loss.

Select the correct option.

  • A.A is false but R is true, rotor resistance control being an efficient method
  • B.Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
  • C.Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A at all
  • D.A is true but R is false, since reducing the speed reduces the slip

Answer: B

Correct answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

The assertion is true: rotor resistance control is inefficient. The reason is true and explains it exactly. Speed is reduced only by increasing the slip, and the rotor loss is \( sP_g \), all of it burnt in the external resistors. Running at 25 per cent slip means a quarter of the air gap power is thrown away, so the efficiency falls roughly as \( 1-s \).
