The simplest way to reduce the speed of a fixed-speed machine driving a load is

  • A.to fit a variable-frequency converter to the machine
  • B.to reduce the voltage applied to the machine
  • C.to change the transmission ratio
  • D.to insert a fluid coupling between machine and load

Answer: C

Correct answer: to change the transmission ratio

If the load simply needs to run slower and always at that speed, a pulley or gear change does it at almost no cost and with no loss. The electrical solutions cost money and, in the case of voltage reduction or a fluid coupling, waste power continuously - they earn their place only where the speed must vary.
