The breakdown torque of an induction motor sets

  • A.the largest load peak it can ride through
  • B.the torque it develops at the instant of starting from standstill
  • C.the torque it develops at its rated full-load slip
  • D.the smallest torque it is able to develop at any slip

Answer: A

Correct answer: the largest load peak it can ride through

The breakdown or pull-out torque is the maximum on the torque-slip curve. A load demanding more than this stalls the machine, because beyond the peak the torque falls as the slip rises and there is no stable operating point. It is typically two to three times full-load torque, and that margin is what lets a motor survive a momentary overload or a supply dip.
