    This experiment aims to determine the V curve of a synchronous motor by varying the DC excitation to the rotor and measuring the resulting AC current supplied by the power line (I1) and DC current supplied to the rotor (I2). As the DC excitation is increased, the synchronous motor acts like an inductive, resistive, and capacitive load to the power line by providing or drawing reactive power. Plotting I1 versus I2 will produce the V curve which shows the motor's operating characteristics under varying excitation levels.

    NAME OF THE EXPERIMENT: To determine the V curve of a


    Synchronous Motor.

    INTRODUCTION:

    You have learn that positive reactive power is needed to create the magnetic field in an
    alternating current motor. This reactive power has the disadvantage of producing a low
    power factor. Low power factors are undesirable for several reasons. Generators,
    Transformers and supply circuits are limited in rating by their current carrying capacities.
    This means that the kilowatt load that they can deliver is directly proportional to the
    power factor of the loads that they supply. For example, a system can deliver only 70% of
    the kilowatt load at 0.7 power factor that it can deliver at unity power factor.

    The Synchronous motor requires considerable reactive power when it operates at no-load
    without any DC excitation to the rotor. It acts like a three-phase inductance load on the
    power line. When the rotor is excited, it will produce some of the magnetism in the motor
    with the result that the stator has no supply less, and the reactive power drawn from the
    power line decreases. If the rotor is excited until it produces all the magnetism, the power
    line will only have no supply active power to the stator, and the power factor will be
    unity. As far as the power line is connected, the Synchronous motor now looks like a
    three-phase resistance load.

    If the rotor is excited still further, tending to create more magnetism than the motor
    needs, then the power line starts supplying negative reactive power to the stator in its
    attempt to keep the total flux constant. But negative reactive power corresponds to a
    capacitor, and the Synchronous motor now looks like a three-phase capacitance load to
    the power line.

    An no-load, the Synchronous motor has the property of acting like a variable inductor/
    variable capacitor, the value of reactance (XL or XC ) being determined by the amount of
    DC current flowing in the rotor.

    A Synchronous motor when used on the same power system with induction motors
    improves the overall system power factor.
