Detailed SolutionA synchronous motor installed at the receiving end substation operates with such an excitation that it takes power at lagging power factor. Now if the applied voltage of the synchronous motor goes down, the power factor of the synchronous motor will

38. As the load is applied to a synchronous motor, the motor takes more armature current because

[amp_mcq option1=”The increased load has to take more current” option2=”The rotor by shifting its phase backward causes motor to take more current” option3=”The back e.m.f. decreases causing an increase in motor current” option4=”The rotor strengthens the rotating field causing more motor current” correct=”option3″]

Detailed SolutionAs the load is applied to a synchronous motor, the motor takes more armature current because
