SynchronousMachines
4-17 THREE-PHASE ROTATING FIELDS require three pairs of
windings 120
120 apart,
apart energized by voltages that also have a 120
120-
degree phase displacement.

SYNCHRONOUS MOTORS are specifically designed to maintain


constant speed
speed, with the rotor synchronous to the rotating field
field.
Synchronous motors require modification (such as squirrel-cage
windings) to be self-starting.
