A synchronous motor comprises of a stator windings and a rotor with a squirrel cage and inside that is windings(coils).

At starting, this motor is an induction motor running with slip. After the rotor has reached a certain speed, a DC current is applied to the windings inside the squirrel cage. A fixed field is induced in these windings. This field locks in with the synchronous rotating magnetic flux of the stator windings. The rotating stator windings then pull the rotor along.

The amount of excitation current can be used to control the power factor of the motor, making this a popular type of motor for high power use with a constant mechanical load.

What is synchronous machein?

mainly alternator,synchronous motor comes under the synchronous machine.a synchronous motor is not a self starting motor.if a synchronous motor moves with more than synchronous speed then it acts as a synchronous generator.


What is slip of synchronous motor?

A synchronous motor runs at synchronous speed, so there is no slip, or zero slip.

Is a 3 phase motor a Synchronous motor?

A synchronous motor can be a type of 3-Phase AC motor, or not.A synchronous motor is defined by the period of the rotor being synchronized with the frequency of the stator windings' current. The stator windings might be 3-Phase or not (2-Phase would work).Also synchronous motors are not the only type of 3-Phase AC motors. An induction motor could also be 3-Phase AC and has a few advantages and disadvantages over a synchronous motor.

Which motor rotate above synchronous speed?

An induction motor rotating at higher than synchronous speed would be generating power, thus would be a generator. No motor operating as a motor runs above synchronous speed.

Why is a synchronous speed motor considered a constant speed motor?

synchronous motor is a constant speed motor because it will only run at a synchronous speed or not at all.the speed can be changed by changiing the frequency only ns=120f/p


What is a synchronous motor?

Synchronous motors are those that run only at Synchronous speed ie.. constant speed.


Why the DC motor is call as synchronous motor?

A 60Hz synchronous motor spins at synchronous speed - if it's a two pole motor it will spin at exactly 1800 rpms. An asynchronous motor will spin at a speed lower than the power supply frequency - a symilar asynchronous motor may spin at 1700 rpms.
