An induction machine's torque at a given slip varies with the applied voltage as

  • A.the square root of the voltage applied to the stator winding
  • B.the inverse of the voltage applied to the stator winding
  • C.the square of the voltage
  • D.the voltage itself, in direct proportion over the whole range

Answer: C

Correct answer: the square of the voltage

Torque depends on the product of flux and rotor current, and both are proportional to the applied voltage, so torque varies as its square. The consequence is severe: a ten per cent voltage drop removes nearly twenty per cent of the torque, which is why supply voltage is the first thing to check when a machine fails to start.
