Best Answer

The speed is determined by the supply frequency and that must be divided by the number of pole-pairs.

So a 4-pole motor would run at 1500 rpm on 50 Hz or 1800 rpm on 60 Hz.

What is a synchronous motor?

Synchronous motors are those that run only at Synchronous speed ie.. constant 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 factors determine the synchronous speed of an AC motor?

Number of poles and supply freqency determines speed of synchronous motor. For speed control of such motors Variable Freqency Drives(VFD) are used.


What is slip of synchronous motor?

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


What is the slip of synchronous motor?

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


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.


Why is the speed of synchronous motor is more then induction motor?

Synchronous motors run at synchronous speed. An induction motor that has the same number of poles must run at a sub-synchronous speed to create a second magnetic field (a field that is at a different phase angle) to generate torque.


If a three phase induction motor runs at a speed greater than synchronous speed?

When an induction motor is pushed over synchronous speed it will become a generator and will deliver power back to the utility.


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.


How do you find the slip in induction motor?

calculate the synchronous speed from the frequency & the no. of magnetic poles in the stator, then measure the actual speed of it with a tachometer, then subtract the actual speed from the synchronous speed.


Speed of the stator field of an Induction motor is?

synchronous speed


What is the slip of a synchronous motor?

Synchronous motors have no slip. This is because the rotor runs at the same speed as the speed of the rotating magnetic flux of the stator.
