Difference between induction motor and synchronous motor?

i Think Synchronous motors operate at synchronous speed
(RPM=120f/p) while induction motors operate at less than
synchronous speed (RPM=120f/p – slip). Slip is nearly zero
at zero load torque and increases as load torque increases

am a right pls guide & send Other Comments

Answer / arun

THERE R MANY DIFFERENCE IN SYNCHRONOUS AND INDUCTION M/C
1)IND M/C IS SELF STARTING E.G.3 PH INDUTION MOTOR
BUT SYNCHRONOUS M/C NOT.
2)SYNCHRONOUS M/C RUNS ON SYNCHRONOUS SPEED WHILE IND. M/C LESS THAN SYN SPEED.
3)SYNCHRONOUS M/C CAN WORK ON LEADING AND LAGGING BOTH BUT INDUTION M/C ALWASY RUNS ON LAGGING PF.
4)EFFICINCY AND COST BOTH OF SYNCHRONOUS M/C IS MORE THAN INDUCTION M/C OF SAME RATING.
5)INDUCTION M/C IS SINGLY EXCITED BUT SYCHRONOUS M/C (ONLY MOTOR NOT GENERATOR) IS DOUBLY EXCITED .

Answer / gogarlatatarao

Forget about slip first of all..
In synchronous motor the stator and room are magnetically locked, means production of exact opposite pole on room with respect to stator are produced.
Stator speed=rotor speed


But in case of indication motor it works on induction principle..
I.e to rotating rotor same poles will create on both stator and rotor. Thus stator opposite the rotor thus it will starts to rotating.
Stator speed =/>/< rotor speed. Based on application

Air or surrounding Temperature is 32 degree C. Cable will go under ground at 2.5 feet depth. Group Rating Factors is 3 cables. Clearance between cables is 7 cm. Soil Temperature (Ambient) 28o C Soil Thermal Resistivity is 1.2 K.m/W I would like to use 3 separate single core instead of using 3 core cable. Some says I should use three separate single core 120RM cables. Some says 70RM .some says 95. I m totally confused. Is there ant specific rule to determine cable size?
