Controlling 3-Phase AC Motor Speed

Answered using GPT-4o mini by AI Answer Generator

Question:

A 3 phase AC motor speed is controlled by adjusting?

A. voltage B. amperage C. ohms D. hertz

Answer:

The speed of a 3-phase AC motor is primarily controlled by adjusting:

D. hertz

In a 3-phase AC motor, the speed is directly related to the frequency of the AC supply (measured in hertz). By varying the frequency, you can control the speed of the motor. While voltage and current can also affect motor performance, frequency is the key factor in determining the speed of an AC
