    Synchronous motors work on the principle of magnetic locking. An initial rotation is given to the rotor using a squirrel cage arrangement fitted through pole tips because if the rotor has no initial rotation, its starting speed will be very low due to inertia. When the rotor rotates at synchronous speed, there is zero relative motion between the squirrel cage and the rotor magnetic field.

    Synchronous Motors

    Working Principle:
    Synchronous motor work on the principle of magnetic locking.

    How it works?
    Why do we give initial rotation to the rotor?

    At Zero Initial Rotation:


    The rotor has some interia and the starting speed will be very low.

    How do we give initial rotation?


    A squirrel cage arrangement is fitted through pole tip.
    When the rotor rotates at synchronous speed the relative motion between the squirrel cage
    and the r.m.f is zero.
