The ratio of maximum torque to full-load torque of a cage induction machine is typically

  • A.about ten
  • B.exactly unity
  • C.between two and three
  • D.less than unity

Answer: C

Correct answer: between two and three

The breakdown torque of a general purpose cage machine is two to three times its full-load value, and the margin matters: it is what allows the machine to ride through a momentary overload or a voltage dip without stalling. Since torque falls as the square of voltage, a dip to seventy per cent already halves the available torque.
