Chapter 6: Synchronous Motor
In general, a synchronous motor is very similar to a synchronous generator with a
difference of function only.
Steady State Operations
‘A synchronous motor are usually applied to instances where the load would require a
constant speed. Hence for a synchronous motor. its torque speed characteristic is constant
speed as the induced torque increases. Hence SR = 0%.

Maximum torque (pullout torque) is achieved when sin 5 = 1. If load exceeds the pullout
torque, the rotor will slow down. Due to the interaction between the stator and rotor
magnetic field, there would be a torque surge produced as such there would be a loss of
synchronism which is known as slipping poles.Bs!
