An over-excited synchronous motor, connected to the terminals of an alternator having Stalling of a Synchronous Motor
excessive armature-reaction, can even replace the excitation of the latter. It is observed, indeed, Over-excited synchronous motor
that on suppressing this excitation, the generator continues to run the motor, and furnishes the Necessity of synchronism and stability of
normal voltage at its terminals; but it can develop only little power. An over-excited motor thus synchronous operation
produces an indirect self-excitation which is equivalent to that obtainable from a condenser. Explanation of Single-Phase Synchronous

If we turn our attention, first, to polyphase synchronous motors, the explanation of the Chapter II: Operation of synchronous motor
phenomena just described is made easy by the consideration of revolving magnetic fields. Installation of Synchronous Motors

For the sake of brevity we will adopt the terms "rotor" and "stator" to designate the movable and

Let us take, as an example, a motor

having two pairs of pole-pieces, in
which the inductive circuit is of
movable form (rotor) and the induced Hansen Motor Corp USA Hansen-Motor.com/Request-a-Quote
is circuit of stationary form (stator). Precision electric geared motors, movements,
slip rings + actuators.
In the ordinary form of polyphase
alternators, the rotor will consist of a
crown of iron cores, with protruding
poles excited by coils receiving direct
current from a separate exciter. The
stator, on the other hand, will consist Motor Laminations www.polarislaserlaminations.com
of a circular core of laminated iron

disposed in notches or slots in such
a manner that the wires in the
successive slots shall have
alternating currents of different phase
passing through them. If we suppose,
for example, that we have a winding
for four poles and for six phases
(three slots per pole) such as is shown in Fig. 7, the wires in the six slots which cover two poles
of the stator, as we follow along the periphery of the latter, will have, passing through them, six
currents which are out of phase with respect to each other by 1/ 6 of a period, and which can be
represented by the equations
"We endorse specAmotor. The free electric
motor selection platform on the web."

specAmotor has collected data from lots of

synchronous, brushless and brushed motors and
will objectively calculate the best configuration.

In which T being the common duration of the period of the alternating currents considered, I0
their common amplitude (i.e., maximum value), and i1, i2, i3, i4, i5, i6, being the currents in the
slots 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

It will be seen that, at every one-sixth of a period, the currents in the stator resume the same
values, but the latter are displaced one-sixth of the width of a double field (2 poles) in the
direction in which the currents succeed each other along the stator. Therefore, the axes
radiating from the magnetic fields produced by the windings of the stator displace themselves
around this stator with an angular velocity;
