For Induction motors : (A) In regenerative breaking the synchronous speed is greater than rotor speed...
59) For Induction motors :
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- (1) (A) and (B) only
- (2) (A) and (D) only
- (3) (B) and (C) only
- (4) (C) and (D) only
Evaluating the Statements:
(A) In regenerative braking the synchronous speed is greater than rotor speed (
):Incorrect. This is for normal driving, not braking. (B) The slip is Negative in regenerative braking: Correct. As we saw above, when
, the math results in a negative slip.(C) In regenerative braking rotor speed is greater than synchronous speed (
):Correct. This is the physical requirement for regeneration to happen. (D) The slip is positive in regenerative braking: Incorrect. Positive slip happens during normal driving.
