A single-phase synchronous machine of the reluctance type is used in

  • A.hand tools needing a very high speed
  • B.refrigerator compressors needing a high starting torque
  • C.ceiling fans needing a quiet and efficient drive
  • D.clocks and timing devices needing an exact speed

Answer: D

Correct answer: clocks and timing devices needing an exact speed

A synchronous machine runs at a speed fixed by the supply frequency and the pole number, with no slip at all. Since the mains frequency is held very accurately over time, such a motor keeps time to the same accuracy - which is what a clock requires and what no induction machine can offer.
