Definition of Synchronous Motors

Synchronous motors are electric motors that rotate at a speed directly proportional to the frequency of the supply current.

Non Excited Synchronous Motors

These motors use external magnetic fields to magnetize a steel rotor, achieving synchronization without additional electrical excitation.

Hysteresis and Reluctance Motors

Types of non-excited synchronous motors that use different principles (hysteresis losses and magnetic reluctance) to achieve and maintain synchronous speed.

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors

The rotor is made up of permanent magnets. They create a constant magnetic flux. The rotor locks in synchronism when the speed is near synchronous speed. They are not self-starting and need electronically controlled variable frequency stator drive.

Direct Current Excited Motor

Direct current excited synchronous motors require a DC supply to the rotor to create the magnetic field. These motors have both stator and rotor windings and can feature cylindrical or salient pole rotors. They are not self-starting, so they use damper windings to start as induction motors before reaching synchronous speed.

Current Excited Synchronous Motors

These motors need a DC supply to the rotor windings to generate the magnetic field and often use damper windings to start as induction motors before reaching synchronous speed.

What is a Pure Capacitor Circuit?
What is a Pure Capacitor Circuit?
Pure Capacitor CircuitA circuit comprising only a pure capacitor with capacitanceC(measured in farads) is termed a Pure Capacitor Circuit. Capacitors store electrical energy within an electric field, a characteristic known ascapacitance(alternatively referred to as a "condenser"). Structurally, a capacitor consists of two conductive plates separated by a dielectric medium—common dielectric materials include glass, paper, mica, and oxide layers. In an ideal AC capacitor circuit, the current

What is a fixed capacitance?
What is a fixed capacitance?
1. DefinitionWhat is commonly referred to as a "permanent capacitor" is likely a popular term. Strictly speaking, it may refer to a fixed capacitor. A fixed capacitor is a type of capacitor with a constant capacitance value. In a circuit, its capacitance will not change due to normal voltage, current variations, or other common external conditions. Its main functions include storing electrical energy, filtering, coupling, and bypassing.2. Structure and PrincipleStructureTake the common ceramic c

Why are storage capacitors necessary in voltage boost circuits?
Why Energy Storage Capacitors Are Needed in Boost ConvertersIn a boost converter (step-up converter), energy storage capacitors (often referred to as output capacitors) play a crucial role. Their primary function is to smooth the output voltage, ensuring that the load receives a stable and continuous power supply. Below is a detailed explanation of why energy storage capacitors are necessary in boost converters:1. Smoothing the Output VoltageThe working principle of a boost converter involves pe

What is capacitor analyzer?
What is capacitor analyzer?
Capacitance Analyzer is a specialized instrument used to measure and analyze the performance of capacitors. It can measure key parameters such as capacitance, dissipation factor, equivalent series resistance (ESR), and more. Additionally, it evaluates the health status, frequency response, temperature characteristics, and other properties of capacitors. Capacitance analyzers are widely used in electronics manufacturing, maintenance, research and development (R&D), and quality control to ensu
