An eddy current coupling controls speed by

  • A.inserting resistance in the rotor circuit of the driving machine
  • B.varying the excitation of a field between two rotating members
  • C.circulating oil between an impeller and a driven runner
  • D.changing the ratio of a belt running on stepped pulleys

Answer: B

Correct answer: varying the excitation of a field between two rotating members

An eddy current coupling has a driven drum and a driving member separated by an air gap, with a field coil between them. Field current sets the torque transmitted and hence the slip. Like the fluid coupling it is a slip device, so its loss is the slip fraction of the input power, all of it appearing as heat in the drum.
