The excitation required to start the reluctance motor is

Right Answer is:

No DC excitation Required

SOLUTION

Single-phase induction motors built with a variable air-gap reluctance and with having no dc supply on the rotor are called reluctance motors. Such motors start as induction motors but are pulled into synchronous speed because of the variation in air-gap reluctance.
