Synchronous Machine

The synchronous machine consists of a stator and rotor. The stator contains slots holding three-phase windings and produces a rotating magnetic field. The rotor can have either a salient pole or cylindrical design. It is connected to slip rings to provide DC current to its field windings. Synchronous machines operate at synchronous speed, with the rotor's rotational speed locked to the stator's magnetic field. They are not self-starting because the rapidly reversing torque prevents the rotor from turning. However, an external force can spin the rotor up to synchronous speed first to allow it to lock in and continue rotating in sync with the stator field.

Synchronous Machine

Construction of Synchronous Machines:


1. Stator:
• The stator is similar in construction that of a induction motor.
• It is made up of laminated sheet steel having slot on its inner periphery.
• Three phase winding is placed in the slot on stator and it serves as armature
winding.

1. Salient: for low speed

3. Slip rings: Two slip ring at rotor shaft to provide
supply to field winding
4. Brushed: Two brushes
5. Shaft:
6. Bearings:
Principle of operation:
• Generator:
• Field produced on rotor by dc current through slip rings
• Rotor field is turned at synchronous speed (Ns) by a prime
mover.
• EMFs induced in stator coils with frequency given by
Principle of operation:
• Motor:
• The stator is wound for the similar number of poles as that of rotor,
and fed with three phase AC supply. 
• The 3 phase AC supply produces rotating magnetic field (RMF) in
stator.
• The rotor winding is fed with DC supply which magnetizes the
rotor.
• The rotor gets locked to the RMF and rotates unlike induction
motor at synchronous speed under all load condition
Why Synchronous motor is not self starting?
How to make it self starting?
• Consider a two pole synchronous machine as shown in figure below
Why Synchronous motor is not self starting?
• Now, the stator poles are revolving with synchronous speed (lets say clockwise).
If the rotor position is such that, N pole of the rotor is near the N pole of the
stator (as shown in first schematic of above figure), then the poles of the stator
and rotor will repel each other, and the torque produced will be anticlockwise.
• The stator poles are rotating with synchronous speed, and they rotate around
very fast and interchange their position. But at this very soon, rotor can not
rotate with the same angle (due to inertia), and the next position will be likely
the second schematic in above figure. In this case, poles of the stator will attract
the poles of rotor, and the torque produced will be clockwise.
• Hence, the rotor will undergo to a rapidly reversing torque, and the motor will
not start.
How to make it self starting?
• But, if the rotor is rotated upto the synchronous speed of the stator by
means of an external force (in the direction of revolving field of the
stator), and the rotor field is excited near the synchronous speed, the
poles of stator will keep attracting the opposite poles of the rotor (as the
rotor is also, now, rotating with it and the position of the poles will be
similar throughout the cycle). Now, the rotor will undergo unidirectional
torque. The opposite poles of the stator and rotor will get locked with
each other, and the rotor will rotate at the synchronous speed.
• A synchronous motor can be made self starting by using
• DC motor:
