Which of the following statement is wrong for 3 phase induction motor?

  • A.It is a self-starting machine.
  • B.It has high efficiency.
  • C.It always runs at a speed less than its synchronous speed.
  • D.The direction of rotation cannot be reversed.

Answer: D

The wrong statement is that the direction of rotation cannot be reversed. The direction of rotation of a 3-phase induction motor can be reversed by interchanging any two of the three supply lines, which reverses the direction of the rotating magnetic field.

The other statements are true: it is self-starting, it has a high efficiency, and it always runs below synchronous speed, since a rotor at synchronous speed would have no induced current and so no torque. So the fourth option is the answer.
