Question

What is the range of the saturation factor in the single phase induction motor?

(a) 1.1-1.3

(b) 1.0-1.2

(c) 1.1-1.35

(d) 1.2-1.6

I got this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

The query is from Operating Characteristics topic in section Design of Single Phase Induction Motor of Design of Electrical Machines

Answer 1

Right choice is (c) 1.1-1.35

The best explanation: The minimum value of the saturation factor in the single phase induction motor is 1.1. The maximum value of the saturation factor in the single phase induction motor is 1.35.
