The document discusses vector and phasor diagrams of synchronous motors and how they can be used as synchronous condensers.

Vector and phasor diagrams are used to represent the magnetic and voltage relationships in synchronous machines. The vector diagram shows the magnetic field relationships while the phasor diagram shows the phase relationships between voltages and currents.

In a generator, the induced emf leads the induced voltage while in a motor the induced emf lags the induced voltage. Also, in a generator the induced torque opposes the motion while in a motor the induced torque is in the direction of motion.

• The equivalent circuit of a synchronous motor is exactly same as the equivalent

circuit of a synchronous generator, except that the reference direction of IA is reversed.

• The basic difference between motor and generator operation in synchronous machines

can be seen either in the magnetic field diagram or in the phasor diagram.

• In a generator, EA lies ahead of Vf, and BR lies ahead of Bnet. In a motor, EA lies behind

Vf, and BR lies behind Bnet.

• In a motor the induced torque is in the direction of motion, and in a generator the

induced torque is a countertorque opposing the direction of motion.

• (a) Unity power factor


• In this unity power factor, the excitation of the synchronous motor
is 100% or in normal excitation.
• (b) Lagging power factor
• In this unity power factor, the excitation of the synchronous motor
is less than 100%.
• (c) Leading power factor
• In this unity power factor, the excitation of the synchronous motor
is greater than 100%.

Synchronous motor can be used as synchronous
condenser

• An over excited synchronous motor running on no load is known as


synchronous capacitor or synchronous condenser.
• A synchronous motor takes a leading current when over excited and
therefore, behaves as a capacitor.
• As compared with a synchronous motor with equal armature voltage and
current rating a synchronous capacitor requires more copper in the field
winding to carry large field current.
• The synchronous capacitor does not require so large shaft and bearings
as the synchronous motor because no shaft torque is required.

Applications of Synchronous Motor

Synchronous motors are usually used in large sizes because in small sizes
they are costlier as compared with induction machines. The principal
advantages of using synchronous machine are as follows:

– Power factor of synchronous machine can be controlled very easily


by controlling the field current.
– It has very high operating efficiency and constant speed.
– For operating speed less than about 500 rpm and for high-power
requirements (above 600KW) synchronous motor is cheaper than
induction motor.
In view of these advantages, synchronous motors are preferred for
driving the loads requiring high power at low speed; e.g; reciprocating
pumps and compressor, crushers, rolling mills, pulp grinders etc.
