1. Explain the construction and principle of operation of a synchronous motor.
2. Explain why the speed of a 3-phase synchronous motor remains constant at variable loads when it is fed
from a constant frequency supply.
3. Explain clearly the effect of change in excitation with constant load on the performance of a synchronous
motor.
4. Explain clearly the effect of change in load with constant excitation on the performance of a synchronous
motor.
5. Explain effects of varying excitation on armature current and power factor in a synchronous motor. Also
draw ‘V’ and ‘inverted V’ curves.
6. Draw the phasor diagrams of synchronous motor for lagging, leading and unity power factor conditions.

phase and synchronous reactance of 4 per phase. While running on no-load, the excitation has been adjusted
so as to make the emf numerically equal to and antiphase with the terminal voltage. With a certain load
