Electrical Motor Control and Components Quiz

A contactor is used to control the starting and stopping of a motor.

The function of a motor starter is to provide power to the motor.

The primary purpose of a motor overload relay is to protect the motor against overheating.

In a three-phase induction motor, the stator is responsible for generating the rotating magnetic field.

The function of a motor capacitor is to provide starting torque in single-phase induction motors.

Inverter is used to control the speed of an induction motor.

A start capacitor is used to start a single-phase induction motor.

Synchronous motor is not a type of DC motor.

A soft starter's primary function is to reduce mechanical stress during motor starting.

The role of a centrifugal switch in a single-phase induction motor is to switch the starting winding out of the circuit.

A servo motor operates as a closed-loop system.

Direct-on-line (DOL) starting provides the highest starting torque.

Variable frequency drive (VFD) starting is preferred for large induction motors to reduce starting current.

A brushless DC motor (BLDC) is more efficient and has a longer lifespan compared to brushed DC motors.

The purpose of a variable frequency drive (VFD) in motor control is to regulate motor speed by varying the frequency of the supplied voltage.
