Question 231Electricity/Electronics - 1st Asst/Chief70% to pass
As shown in the illustration, what type of motor and motor starter are featured? Illustration EL-0137
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) non-reversing squirrel cage induction motor with reduced voltage autotransformer starting.
This is the correct answer because the illustration EL-0137 depicts a non-reversing squirrel cage induction motor, which is a commonly used motor type in marine applications. The starting method shown is a reduced voltage autotransformer, which is a standard technique to smoothly start and accelerate large induction motors to full speed.
The other options are incorrect because option A describes a primary reactor starting method, option B describes a reversing motor, and option C describes an across-the-line (full voltage) starting method, which is less common for large motors.
