Assuming that the motor is capable of running with no rotor slip, what type of motor would be used in an AC propulsion drive system?
⢠Rotor slip and how it relates to different AC motor types ⢠Difference between induction motors and synchronous motors ⢠Which motor type can run at exact synchronous speed with the rotating magnetic field
⢠For each choice, ask: does this motor inherently require slip between the stator field and the rotor to produce torque? ⢠Consider which motors are commonly used where constant speed exactly locked to line frequency is important. ⢠Think about which motor types are called synchronous versus induction and what that implies about rotor speed.
⢠Verify which motor types are induction motors and remember that induction usually implies non-zero slip under load. ⢠Check which option describes a motor whose rotor speed is locked to the stator rotating field speed (no slip in steady-state). ⢠Eliminate any motor types that are designed to operate on both AC and DC if the question is specifically about an AC propulsion drive emphasizing no rotor slip.
