In case of a reluctance motor, when the load is increased so that it cannot maintain synchronous speed the motor will
A)become unstable
B)draw excessive armature current and may burn out
C)fall out of synchronism and come to stand still
D)run as induction motor

Question

When a reluctance motor cannot maintain synchronous speed due to increased load, it falls out of synchronism but continues to run as an induction motor. This is because the rotor design typically allows for induction motor operation under such conditions.

In Case of a Reluctance Motor, When the Load Is
