In induction motors no seprate source is required to start the motor,and motor itself induces emf as the word induction clearly reflects it starting principle while in case of synchronous motors ,motor is synchronised with an external source of emf.
The big difference is that the synchronous motor's rotor can have a variable current applied to it through its field slip rings. Both types of motors have their own advantages. With a synchronous motor in the system, the systems power factor can be regulated.
Synchronous motor or induction motor
When an induction motor is pushed over synchronous speed it will become a generator and will deliver power back to the utility.
synchronous speed
The induction motor is the special kind of motor which runs below and above the synchronous speed. which the synchronous motor runs nearly equal the synchronous speed. The operation of synchronous motor runs with dc field excited hence separate dc field current is given to the field circuit. where as the induction motor the field and main field is drawn from the same supply hence no excitation is required. But due to this separate starting mechanism has to be required in case of the single phase induction motor.
it is the difference between the synchronous and asynchronous speed of a induction motor
in case of induction motor the rotor speed is less than synchronous speed giving positive slip but in case of generator the rptor speed is greater than synchronous speed giving negative slip.......

motor cyc
Induction motors run at sub synchronous speeds because the slip (difference between synchronous and actual speed) causes, or controls the electric field strength in the motor. As more load is put on the motor, the motor's speed decreases, increasing slip, and increasing the electric field strength.
Synchronous motor or induction motor
Only Stator winding is similar in both the cases.
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.
When an induction motor is pushed over synchronous speed it will become a generator and will deliver power back to the utility.
