Synchronous Machine
• Electric Motor in which, at steady state, the rotation of the shaft is
synchronized with frequency of supply current
• The speed of the synchronous motor is determined by the number of
magnetic poles and the line frequency
• Types:
Synchronous Generator
Synchronous Motor

Winding of Synchronous Machine
• Armature Winding
• Deliver of Consume AC Power
• Field Winding
• Supplied by DC supply to create fix number of pole pair
• Induce emf/voltage is directly proportional to relative motion

Synchronous Generator
• Synchronous generators produce electricity whose frequency is
synchronized with the mechanical rotational speed

• Equivalent circuit describe by using


• Relation between field current and flux
• Synchronous reactance
• Armature resistance
• Use open-circuit test & short-circuit test to determine these
parameters
