WHY EXCITATION OF SYNCHRONOUS MACHINE IS DC NOT AC

Answer Posted / raja

When ac supply is provided, the poles will alternate between north and south pole for each half cycle of supply. so there wont be any magnetic interlocking with stator to run at synchronous speed as the polarity changes at the rate of supply frequency. hence for magnetic locking DC supply is used for excitation

For refrigerators the motor current is raised beyond its rating on both conditions when the voltage of the system is more(say 270v) than the rated voltage(220v) as well as when the voltage of system is less(say 160v) than normal voltageof 220v, why explain?
