Stator Construction
• Stator is identical to the
induction motor
• Laminated low silicon steel
rings joined together
• Slots insulated with Mylar
• Example of 36 slot stator
with 3 coil conductors per

Rotor Construction
Two types of rotor
• Salient Pole
• Cylindrical
Rotor Construction
Salient Pole
Difference between pole face
curvature and stator creates non-linear
variation in flux across pole face
Non-linear variation in flux across
pole face produces sinusoidal
change in the induced EMF
Rotor Construction
Cylindrical
Difference in coil spacing creates nonlinear variation in flux around the rotor
surface
Non-linear variation in flux around
rotor surface produces sinusoidal
change in the induced EMF
Rotor Construction
Cylindrical
Difference in coil spacing creates nonlinear variation in flux around the rotor
surface
Non-linear variation in flux around
rotor surface produces sinusoidal
change in the induced EMF
Operation as a Synchronous Generator

prime mover

• Rotor current
Relationship between open circuit stator
EMF and rotor current is a straight line
until the steel begins to saturate when it
becomes non-linear.

Operation as a Synchronous Motor
Two pole cylindrical rotor example
NS
A’
• Stator field rotates at 3000rpm from 50Hz
supply
• Rotor field must be locked on to stator
field speed
• Motor runs a synchronous speed whatever
the mechanical load provided rotor field is
strong enough

NR = NS
• This is impossible within an induction
motor as there wound be no induced
currents to cause rotation
• This motor runs at synchronous speed
hence the name – SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR

The V-curve
The rotor current can be
adjusted to vary the power
factor of the stator
Unity power factor is achieved
when stator current is at its
minimum
This machine can be used to
correct power factor of
induction motors when
connected in parallel
