Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cost of an induction motor increases with an increase in horsepower rating because a more powerful motor requires more materials and more sophisticated components to handle the higher power. Additionally, as the revolutions per minute (r.p.m.) decrease, the motor must be designed to deliver the same power at a lower speed, which often requires a more complex and expensive design.
