9. Which of the following statements regarding repulsion induction motor is incorrect ?

At rated load, it runs at almost synchronous speed

It employs centrifugally-operated mechanism to short-circuit the commutator

At start as well as a low speeds, most of the torque is produced by repulsion winding

At starting, squirrel-cage winding produces no torque

Answer: It employs centrifugally-operated mechanism to short-circuit the commutator

10. To reverse the direction of rotation of a capacitor-start motor while it is running we should ?

disconnect motor from the supply till it stops then reconnect it to supply with reversed connection of main or auxiliary winding

disconnect motor from supply and immediately reconnect it to supply with reversed connections of the main winding

reverse the direction of connection of the auxiliary winding and after motor comes to rest then connect auxiliary winding to the supply

reverse the direction of connections of the auxiliary winding and immediately connect it to supply

Answer: disconnect motor from the supply till it stops then reconnect it to supply with reversed connection of main or auxiliary winding
