Option 4 : It can run at synchronous speed only
The starting behavior of a hysteresis motor is like a single-phase induction motor and running behavior are the same as a synchronous motor. Hence it can run at the synchronous speed only.
- A hysteresis motor is a synchronous motor with a uniform air gap and without DC excitation
- The torque in a hysteresis motor is produced due to hysteresis and eddy current induced in the rotor by the action of the rotating flux of the stator windings
- It has high starting torque as it has high rotor hysteresis loss
- It accelerates from rest to full-speed almost instantaneously
- It is not sensitive to fluctuations in supply voltage
- The noise level of the hysteresis motor is very low as compared to the induction motor because it operates at a constant speed and its rotor is smooth
- This type of motor is the smoothest running, quietest single-phase motor and is used for quality sound reproduction equipment like record players, tape recorders, etc.
