Q#1 Induction Machines GATE EE 2026 (Set 1) MCQ +1 mark -0.33 marks

Which one of the following options is correct regarding the typical double-squirrel-cage structure used in induction motors?

At starting, a larger portion of the rotor current flows in the outer cage

At starting, a larger portion of the rotor current flows in the inner cage

At rated speed, most of the rotor current flows in the outer cage

The purpose of the double-squirrel-cage structure is to lower the effective rotor resistance at starting
