Ac Motors, Generators and Power Systems
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Lesson 18_et332b.pptx
Interpret a synchronous motor phasor diagram
Explain how increasing mechanical load affects
synchronous motor electrical characteristics
Explain the difference between electrical and
mechanical degrees in synchronous motor
operation
Compute the motor developed power and torque

LOAD CHANGE ON SYNCHRONOUS
MOTORS Armature current
increases and power
factor angle decreases.
Lesson 18_et332b.pptx
Increasing torque
increases d
Increases the
voltage drop
between VT and Ef.
More active power enters the motor to maintain speed and develop 3
the new value of torque
ELECTRICAL DEGREES VS MECHANICAL
DEGREES IN SYNCHRONOUS MACHINES
Electrical power/torque angle measurement is related to the rotor
phase shift by the following formula

P
de dm

Where: de = phase shift in electrical degrees
dm = mechanical phase shift in the rotating magnetic
field of the rotor

SYNCHRONOUS MACHINE OPERATION AND
EXCITATION
Motor Operation: Increasing excitation increases magnetic
field strength. Decreases power angle for a fixed load.
Increases Max power.

TYPES OF MACHINE EXCITATION
Ef = VT Called normal excitation.
Synchronous motor supplies all magnetizing
current to transfer power across air gap.
Lesson 18_et332b.pptx
Ef > VT Called overexcited. Synchronous
motor has surplus of reactive power. Supplies
vars to power system. (leading Fp)
