Operation of the Synchronous Motor

When the stator is energized, the synchronous motor starts like an induction motor. The amortisseur winding (like a squirrel cage winding) forms poles that react to the rotating magnetic field of the stator. The amortisseur winding isn’t designed for long-term use (as is the case with the induction motor’s squirrel cage winding). It gives the […]
