Synchronous motor is a motor that operates at synchronous speed, i.e.
speed of the rotor is equal to the stator speed of the motor. It follows the
relation N = NS = 120f/P, where N is the rotor speed and Ns is the
synchronous speed.
Asynchronous motor is an AC Induction motor. The rotor of the
Asynchronous motor rotates at the speed less than the synchronous speed,
i.e. N < NS
