Why do we give DC excitation to AC Synchronous motor??

Answer Posted / b. b. shukla

In a synchronous motor, a rotating magnetic field is produced in stator by giving 3 phase AC supply.Now as per working principle of syn. motor,rotor must have a magnetic locking with stator field. For this purpose we need permanent magnetic poles in rotor so that rotor pole will form magnetic locking with nearest opposite pole of rotating stator field and rotates with stator field at synchronous speed.
Now to form permanent magnetic poles in rotor, DC excitation is fed to rotor winding of synchronous motor.

I have a small system with two motors that are running on 380 vac, 60 hz. These motors are expensive and I usally get them from Brazil. I am adding another motor to the system, but I want to purchase a 480 vac, 60 hz motor to use. It will be on a VFD that is rated fro 380 thru 480. Is this posible and will I have to use a larger motor and derate it?
