Which of these is NOT a means of starting a synchronous motor?

  • A.Induction starting on the damper winding of the machine
  • B.Bringing the machine up to speed with an auxiliary motor
  • C.Ramping the frequency up from zero with a converter
  • D.Rotor resistance control through slip rings

Answer: D

Correct answer: Rotor resistance control through slip rings

Rotor resistance control belongs to the wound rotor induction machine, where inserting resistance changes the slip at which maximum torque occurs. A synchronous machine’s slip rings carry direct field current, not a variable resistance in an induced-current circuit. The three genuine methods are induction starting on the damper winding, an auxiliary pony motor, and ramping the frequency up from zero with a converter.
