• The equivalent circuit of a synchronous motor is exactly same as the equivalent
• 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
• In a motor the induced torque is in the direction of motion, and in a generator the

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:
