A synchronous motor is unsuitable for a load requiring frequent starts because

  • A.the machine runs at a speed that varies with each start
  • B.the machine draws no current during the starting period
  • C.each start is a lengthy and thermally severe operation
  • D.the machine cannot be reversed once it has been started

Answer: C

Correct answer: each start is a lengthy and thermally severe operation

Starting means accelerating on the damper winding, which is not designed for continuous duty, and then applying the field at the right moment. The sequence takes time and heats the damper heavily, so a machine started many times an hour would overheat. Loads with frequent starts are given induction machines.
