    The document discusses synchronous motors. It describes the synchronous motor's construction as similar to an alternator, with a stator winding connected to a 3-phase AC supply and a rotor winding connected to an external DC excitation source. It explains the motor's principle of operation, types, starting methods, advantages of constant speed and power factor control, and disadvantages like needing external DC power. Common applications are listed as fans, pumps, grinders and mills where constant speed is important.

    Presented By :-
    Introduction:-

     A synchronous motor is electrically identical with an


    alternator or an ac generator.

     However when used as synchronous motor, the three phase ac


    supply is connected to the stator and the external excitation is
    connected to the rotor field.

     The speed of rotation is called as synchronous speed Ns which


    is directly proportional to supply frequency.
    Construction:-

     The construction of synchronous motor is same as that of an


    alternator.

     It has two winding namely stator or armature and rotor or


    field winding.

     The armature winding is placed in the slots which are


    distributed over the entire yoke.
     The stator is connected to the 3 phase AC supply.

     The field winding is placed in the rotor slots and it is


    connected to the DC supply via two slip rings.

     The DC supply is also called as excitation and it is obtained


    from a DC shunt generator mounted on the same shaft.

     The rotor can be a salient-projected type or cylindrical type.


    Normally the salient pole rotor is preferred.
    Principle of Operation :-

    Stator winding is connected to the 3 phase supply.

    RMF rotating at synchronous speed is produced.

    Rotor is excited by an external dc source.

    Rotor is driven by some external device like a diesel engine in


    the direction RMF at the same speed as that of RMF.

    Once the stator and are magnetically coupled the diesel engine is
    decoupled from the rotor.
    Types of synchronous motor :-

    1. Permanent magnet synchronous motor

    2. Wound field synchronous motor

    3. Reluctance type synchronous motor


    Starting Methods For Synchronous Motor :-

    1. Using a small DC machine.

    2. Using a small induction motor.

    3. Using a damper winding.

    4. As a slip ring induction motor.


    Advantages of synchronous motor :-

     Speed of operation is constant so very good speed regulation.

     It is possible to vary the power factor by adjusting the


    excitation.
    Disadvantages of synchronous motor :-

     It is not self starting.

     It needs to frequent maintenance.

     External DC source is necessary for providing excitation .

     Additional damper winding is necessary.

     Hunting take place it load is changed suddenly.


    Application of synchronous motor :-

    A constant speed of operation makes the synchronous motor


    suitable for following application.

     Fans , blowers .

     Centrifugal pumps.

     Grinders.

     Textile mills, rolling mills, cement mills.

     machine tools.
