    This document contains 22 multiple choice questions about three-phase induction motors. It addresses topics such as: - The principles of operation, including how slip-frequency currents are set up in the rotor and why torque is generated. - Key parameters like synchronous speed, slip, and their relationships to supply frequency and number of pole pairs. - Common rotor types, losses, torque-speed characteristics, and starting methods. - Performance calculations involving slip, rotor losses, output power, and efficiency. The questions cover the basic theory and operation of three-phase induction motors.
