Basics Of Ac Synchronous Motor
Generally speaking, electrical motor is an electro-mechanical device which main purpose is to convert energy from electrical domain to mechanical domain. According to the type of input, there are two types of electro-mechanical motors: single phase and three (3) phase motors. Among the 3 phase electrical motors, induction and synchronous motors are the most commonly used. The construction of an Ac synchronous motor is similar to the alternator - AC generator one . There are different types of synchronous motors available on the market and they are rated between 150kW to 15MW. Construction Of An Ac Synchronous Motor An Ac Synchronous Motor consists of stator and rotor. To minimize hysteresis losses and eddy current, t he stator core of synchronous motors must be constructed with thin silicon structure, insulated by a surface coating. The stator has axial slots inside, where in is placed three phase stator winding. The rotor in Ac synchronous moto...
