A wound rotor induction machine differs from a cage machine in having

  • A.no rotor conductors at all in its slots
  • B.permanent magnet material embedded within the laminations of its rotor core
  • C.a direct current field winding on its rotor
  • D.a three-phase rotor winding brought out to slip rings

Answer: D

Correct answer: a three-phase rotor winding brought out to slip rings

The wound rotor carries a proper three-phase winding whose terminals reach the outside through slip rings, so external resistance may be inserted. That is its whole purpose: resistance in the rotor circuit raises the starting torque and allows some speed control, at the cost of brushes to maintain.
