D) induction

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term used for when the load on a synchronous motor becomes too great, causing the rotor to get out of sync with the rotating magnetic field, is "pull-out" torque. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer. Desynchronizing torque, imbalance torque, and induction torque are not commonly used terms in reference to this particular situation.
