Abstract
The conventional synchronous motors considered in chapters 5 and 8 have two distinctive features: the AC armature winding is effectively sinusoidally distributed, and the AC supply is taken from a three-phase source of constant or adjustable frequency. In consequence a synchronous motor develops a smooth torque and it runs at a speed determined by the supply frequency.
