OBJECTIVE:
To obtain the performance characteristics of a synchronous motor, operating from an infinite bus. The
performance is to be studied with:

LAB PROCEDURE
a. Load the synchronous motor and keep the mechanical load constant (and hence the output is also
constant if the losses are neglected).
b. Starting with no-load, vary the excitation and observe field current If and the motor current IL and record
your readings in the table below.
c. Repeat for 50%, 75% and 100% of mechanical loading, record the readings in the appropriate tables.
