← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a large industrial three-phase induction motor operates under sustained undervoltage conditions?
A)Increased slip and motor overheating✓
B)Decreased torque and speed instability
C)Harmonic distortion and control system fault
D)Line voltage fluctuation and transformer saturation
💡 Explanation
When a three-phase induction motor experiences undervoltage, increased current occurs to deliver the required power because power equals voltage times current, leading to increased stator winding resistance heating and reduced efficiency, which causes overheating and increased motor slip. Therefore, overheating & more slip result, rather than instability, distortion, or saturation which require more complex system interaction.
