The parameter of an equivalent circuit of a three-phase induction motor affected by reducing the rms value of the supply voltage at the rated frequency is

  1. rotor resistance
  2. rotor leakage reactance
  3. magnetizing reactance
  4. stator resistance

Correct answer: magnetizing reactance

Solution

Reducing the rms value of the supply voltage affects the magnetizing reactance because it alters the magnetic field strength in the motor, which is directly related to the voltage applied. As the voltage decreases, the magnetizing reactance increases, impacting the motor's ability to generate the necessary magnetic flux for operation.
