Chapter 5. Synchronous Motors


The Synchronous Motor from a Magnetic Field Perspective
The Synchronous Motor Torque-Speed Characteristic Curve

The speed of the synchronous motor will be constant regardless o/the load.
This fixed rate of rotation is given

where nm is the mechanical rate of rotation, fse is the stator electrical


frequency, and P is the number of poles in the motor.

Synchronous Motor Applications
• The main purpose of installation in different power systems is to maintain
the power factor.
• It used in such systems where less speed and higher loads are working.
• Compressors mostly consist of synchronous motor.
• Cranks, grinders or where high-power load is working where these motors
are used.
• Synchronous motor is more favorable for less speed, and large power using
applications. So, these motors are normally used for such application
where high loads are operating.
• As the output of the motor is mechanical so a rating of motor will be in HP
rather than in KWs. In given figure shows the rating of a large motor.
Synchronous Motor Disadvantages
• Synchronous motor is not self-excited it needs special dc source for this
process.
• It also not self-start need special arrangements for self-starting.
• Its price of per kilowatt-hour is larger than an induction motor.
• Due to presence of a slip ring and carbon brushes its price is higher.
