Why is a no load current of an induction motor much larger as compared to the no load current of a transformer?
Can you explain to me why the no load current of an induction motor is larger than the no load current of a transformer?
Yes, of course! The no load current of an induction motor is larger than that of a transformer because the induction motor requires a magnetic field to be created by the motor, which increases the current drawn from the supply. The transformer, on the other hand, is only transferring energy from the primary to the secondary circuit and does not require a magnetic field.
