Compared with a synchronous motor, an induction motor of the same rating is

  • A.cheaper, simpler and self-starting
  • B.more efficient at every load and power factor
  • C.able to run at an exactly constant speed under load
  • D.able to supply reactive power to the network

Answer: A

Correct answer: cheaper, simpler and self-starting

The cage machine has no field winding, no exciter, no slip rings and no starting sequence, so it costs less to buy and less to maintain, and it starts by being switched on. That combination is why the great majority of industrial motors are induction machines despite the synchronous machine’s advantages.
