Marine Electrical Systems USCG Q#740 (Set 25)

A degree of control over the speed of a slip ring induction motor can be obtained by what means?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option C — inserting resistance into the rotor circuit

Varying external resistance connected through slip rings directly into the rotor circuit modifies the torque-speed curve of a slip ring induction motor, providing effective speed control under load per IEEE 45.
