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.
