For exactly the same reason as three-phase motors always run below synchronous speed. If they were to run at synchronous speed then no voltage and, therefore, no rotor current will be induced into the rotor to drive it.
Single phasing preventor is an electronic circuit which prevents the Thee phase operated Electrical machines from single phase cut off, Phase reversal and phase imbalance.
The primary advantage is that, for a given load, a three-phase system requires less copper for tranmission/distribution than an equivalent single-phase system would require. Other advantages include the fact that three-phase machines are smaller than single-phase machines of similar rating.
There are lots of ways of categorising electric motors. For example, you can start by categorising them as either d.c. or a.c. then, within these categories you can continue to categorise them as (for example) 'series', 'shunt', 'compound', etc. (d.c. machines), and as 'induction', 'synchronous', etc. (a.c. machines) which, in turn can be broken down even further (e.g. induction: 'three-phase', 'single-phase', etc.), and so on.
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.
The synchronous speed of a single-phase motor is determined by the formula ( N_s = \frac{120 \times f}{P} ), where ( N_s ) is the synchronous speed in RPM, ( f ) is the frequency of the supply, and ( P ) is the number of poles. Therefore, if the applied frequency remains constant, the synchronous speed will not change significantly with variations in the applied voltage or current. However, if the supply frequency changes, the synchronous speed will change accordingly. In practice, variations in load can cause the actual speed to deviate from the synchronous speed, but this is not a change in synchronous speed itself.
The fuses that protect the individual legs of the three phase system will blow open.
For an alternating current (AC) grid, *every* alternator must be exactly in phase with every other. If not, one will attempt to feed power to the other, rather than adding to the power in the system. Synchronous alternators are easily controlled for speed, and therefore, for phase. As well, synchronous alternators can be made with no electrical contacts, so they are very long-lived and reliable. Be aware that *all* power plants connected to a grid use synchronous machines.
If the synchronous motor is single phase then there are two slip rings & if this motor is three phase so the slip rings are three in number. Correction; I have never seen a single phase synchronous motor. It would cost more that it was worth. A synchronous motor has a separately excited field. If the excitation comes from a stationary DC source it has 2 slip (collector) rings. A brushless induction motor has no slip rings because the exciter armature rotates and so do the rectifiers. A permanent magnet motor, used with variable frequency drives, is another type of synchronous motor that has no slip rings. A three phase motor with 3 slip rings is a Wound Rotor motor. Wound rotor motors are variable speed motors that were used for such applications as bridges and cranes before variable speed drives.
