Synchrounous motor is three phase motor,but its not self
starting .why?

Answer Posted / raul

when a 3-phase supply is provided to the stator winding of
the synch motor, a rotating field is produced n adjacent N-
S poles r formed on the stator windings.....due to rotor
inertia the rotor is not able to follow the rotating
magnetic field rotating at synch speed......therefore some
means has to be provided to make it self
starting........the solution lies in this
principle............the rotor is generally of squirrel
cage construction which speeds up as a induction motor and
when the motor picks up speed close to synch speed, the
rotor windings r excited by d.c. thus forming adjacent
poles on the rotor.....and in this way the stator poles
locks in with the rotor poles with opposite polarity to
rotate the rotor at synch speed...........that why synch
motor is DOUBLY EXCITED.

I have a current transformer with 1 main reading meter with transformer outside the building and a control panel having 5 CT reading meters with black round coils inside the building. I want to know, A) when current pass through the Transformers, will the current be reduced or be the same and after that B) when current pass through the CT meters with black round coils, will the current be reduced or be the same. C) in the above process will the reading of the main meter be same or different, from the total reading of all the 5 CT meters.
