The chief advantage the single-phase induction motor retains is

  • A.that it runs directly from a domestic supply with no electronics
  • B.that it is the most efficient small machine available anywhere
  • C.that it develops its largest torque at standstill
  • D.that its speed can be varied over a wide range without a converter

Answer: A

Correct answer: that it runs directly from a domestic supply with no electronics

Its whole justification is availability: it works from the supply that exists in every house, with nothing between it and the socket. On every other count it is inferior to a three-phase machine - less efficient, larger for its output, with pulsating torque and a poorer power factor.
