Which outcome occurs when an asynchronous AC induction motor is directly connected to the electric grid without a soft starter?

A)Reduced mechanical wear on bearings

B)Brief voltage sags on grid✓

C)Improved motor speed regulation

D)Decreased stator winding temperature

💡 Explanation

Voltage sags briefly occur due to **inrush current**, because the motor attempts to draw significantly more current than usual during startup to overcome its inertia; therefore a voltage sag appears in nearby loads rather than improved conditions within the motor.
