Because the phasor rotation of a negative harmonic is the same as that of the fundamental frequency, it will tend to weaken the rotating magnetic field of an induction motor causing it to produce much greater torque.
Phasor Rotation
See phase rotation.
Induction Motor
An electric motor that operates on the principle of induction, where electromagnetic fields are generated to turn the rotor, commonly used in various applications due to its ruggedness and simplicity.

Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
Negative harmonics actually cause the rotating magnetic field to distort, leading to reduced efficiency and potentially less torque, not greater torque. They can also cause additional heating and vibration in the motor.
