Which of these is NOT a way of controlling the speed of an induction motor?

  • A.Varying the voltage applied to the stator winding
  • B.Changing the number of poles for which the stator is connected
  • C.Varying the armature resistance of the machine
  • D.Varying the frequency of the supply feeding the stator

Answer: C

Correct answer: Varying the armature resistance of the machine

An induction motor has no armature - that is a dc machine term, and the corresponding induction motor method is rotor resistance control, which works only on a wound rotor machine. Stator voltage variation, pole changing and frequency variation are all genuine methods, the last being the one that has displaced the others.
