what is the basic difference between synchronous
motor,synchronous generator and induction motor
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
synchronous motor and generator are same i.e
constant speed type machine but only difference
is that motor consume power and generator produce
power .it is doubly excited.
where induction motor is asynchronous machine.
its singly excited.

Answer / pradyumna chandra panda
Induction motor is easily self started and it's speed is variable which is less than synchronous speed and motor leg the current behind the voltage ie poor power factor. In simple Synchronous motors are not self started (they are self started by Drive) it's speed is equal to synchronous speed and the motor maintain approximately unity power factor ie not legging.

induction motor is generally treated as rotating transformer becoz its working principle is same as transformer(mutual induction) and the I.M is of rotating...where as in synchronous machines the magnetic field is rotating and the speed will be constant which is not constant in the case of induction motor!!

Answer / b.arun prashanth
A synchronous motor and generator are constant speed machines and they are doubly excited machines where dc supply has to be given to the rotor ! and an induction motor always runs in a speed less than the synchronous speed ! if it reaches the synchronous speed torque = 0 hence current = 0 and the motor wont run !

why the auxilary(starting)winding is provided in single phase inductoin motor?
A system having the charactristic eqation (s+1)(s+2)(s-3)=0 is (a)stable (b)unstable (c)marginally stable (d)critically stale
what is meant by unity power factor?unity means one why dont call 2,3,4......?
in single phase we get 220 volt and in three phase 4420 v why this second Ques= in case three phase star conection our neutrul becom disconect what happan 3 Q=== a three phase house load and have unbalce load on different pahse diffrent current eg phase a 7A b 8A c 5A and voltage is 440 than how calculate it total load in kw pl give formula thanks
A 3 phase transformer's (Y-Y) Y and B phase is (Y and B connection not broken) broken from neutral and R and Nutral connection is ok, what will be the relay tripping and why
What is mean by discrimination of circuit breaker ?
How does frequency affect KVA rating of a transformer? If a 500 kva, 400 v, 60 hz t/f is to be operated on 50 hz frequency then how will its KVA rating change? a-increase b-decrease c-remains same Also explain why do u think like that.
why are the maintaine power factor and how can this control and this is how work.
WE HAVE A PROBLEM THAT THE MAIN DRIVE OF OUR CEMENT MILL HAS AN EARTHING PROBLEM?TWO OF STATOR WINDINGS INSULATION HAS BEEN COLLAPSED DUE TO AGING PROBLEM.THE PHASES HAVE BEEN BYPASSED AND NOW THE LOAD HAS BEEN INCREASED.WE CAN'T REPLACE THE MOTOR.KINDLY HELP ME BY GIVING SUGGESTION THAT HOW TO MAINTAIN THE STARTING TORQUE AND CURRENT FOR HIGH LOADS.
what is the other name of dc series motor
without any excitation we can strt any dc or ac moter?
