Question 188Motor Plants - QMED

The correct answer is A) torsional vibrations are reduced. Electromagnetic slip couplings use an electromagnetic field to transmit torque between two rotating shafts. This allows the primary and secondary elements to operate at slightly different speeds, which helps reduce torsional vibrations in the system. The slip between the elements absorbs and dampens any torsional oscillations, leading to smoother, more stable operation. The other answer choices are incorrect because: B) is not a key advantage, C) describes a general property of slip couplings rather than a specific advantage, and D) is not related to the key advantage of reduced torsional vibrations.
