 Input is electrical power. Stator is input terminal.

 Output is mechanical power. Rotor is output terminal.


 Output speed is constant irrespective of the load and is equal to synchronous speed.
 Output speed can be controlled precisely by controlling the frequency of the input electrical
frequency and the speed of the motor is given by

 If rotor is rotated in the same direction of
 Stator is input terminal. 3 phase AC is
supplied which creates a rotating magnetic rotating magnetic field then the poles of
field stator magnetic field attracts the opposite
poles of the rotor. Rotor and stator is locked
 Rotor is output terminal. It can be permanent in synchronism.

 Rotor then moves at the speed of stator

 But if there is no initial rotation of the rotor, the
motor does not start because of inertia of the rotor
 So a damper winding is used which is a squirrel
cage. It starts the motor based on the same
principle of induction motor.
 Once the motor reaches near-synchronous speed,
rotor coil is energized making it an
electromagnet.
 Machine is now locked in synchronism and no
current flows in the damper winding

Initially operating on leading PF
As 𝐼𝐹 is unchanged 𝐸𝐴 is unchanged
𝑉𝜑 is unchanged As 𝐸𝐴 and 𝑉𝜑 is constant, as P increases sin∂ or ∂ must increase
Therefore 𝐼𝐴 is increases and becomes more lagging

For lagging pf 𝜃 is positive

For leading pf 𝜃 is negative

Synchronous motor can be used to correct a pf of a system


To calculate transmission line current use From trigonometry
𝑄 = 𝑃 ∗ tan 𝜃

𝜃 = tan−1

We need to calculate the pf of the total system first
