motor 3) Efficiency of synchronous motor 4) Some solved examples By the end of this class you should understand the following issues in the synchronous motor: The V-curves Do calculation of different power Calculate the efficiency
V-Curves The different three modes of operation explained earlier are shown in the following graph called V-Curve.(Fig. (1). At a low field current (If), the generated EMF (Ea) is low and the stator current lags the terminal voltage. The motor acts as an inductive load and is said to be under-excited. As the field current is increased, the stator current becomes less and less lagging and will later become in phase with the voltage. At this point the motor operates at unit power factor and is said to be normally-excited. As the field current is increased further, the stator current becomes leading. The motor becomes a source of reactive power, and it is said to be overexcited.

In the following three examples will be solved covering the analysis, performance and control of synchronous motor
Example 1 A three-phase, 208-V synchronous motor has a synchronous reactance of 1.0 per phase and negligible armature resistance. The motor draws 50 kVA at 0.8 power factor leading. Calculate (a) The stator current Ia and (b) The excitation voltage Ea. Solution Figures (2) and (3) show the equivalent circuit and the corresponding phasor digram for the motor in this example

It is evident from equations (1) and (2) that the expressions Ea sin and Ia cos must be constant. Of course, when the field current is increased, Ea increases but only in such a way that its projection Ea sin remains constant. This is illustrated in Fig. (3). Similarly, the stator current Ia is constrained to change so as to have a constant projection Ia cos . It may be seen that as the power factor and it absorbs reactive power as an under-excited motor. For field currents greater than the value for minimum stator current, the motor operates at a leading power factor, and it supplies reactive power to the external system and is said to be overexcited.
Example 2
A three phase, 200-hp, 480-V, six-pole, 60-Hz synchronous motor has a synchronous reactance of 1.5/phase. Neglect all losses. The motor is connected to an infinite bus, and it delivers its rated horsepower at unity power factor. Determine the pullout torque, that is, the maximum torque the motor can deliver without losing synchronism.
Solution
At unity power factor, the stator current is in phase with the applied voltages thus:
Ia = (200)(746) 3 480 0o = 179.46o0 A
Then the excitation voltage is given by E a = Vt (Ra + jX s )I a = 277.10o (0 + j1.5)(179.460o) = 386.3 44.2 o V (line to neutral ) Since the synchronous motor is assumed to be lossless. Tmax m = Pmax The maximum power occurs at a power angle =90o
Vt E a (277.1)(386.3) sin 90 o = 3 = 214kW Xs 1 .5 The mechanical angular speed is found from the radian frequency as P=3
The power flow diagram for a synchronous motor is shown in Figure (4). The input power to the motor is electrical and is equal to 3VtIa cos The mechanical power developed, Pdev, is equal to Tindm.
2 The copper losses consist of the stator losses of 3I a Ra
The field winding losses are not included in this diagram because the field winding is excited by a separate DC source. The rotational losses include core losses, consisting of hystersis and eddy current losses. Mechanical losses, consisting of friction and windage losses. The output power Poutput is equal to Tloadm, where Tload is the output torque. When the motor is operated at rated conditions, the output mechanical power Poutput is equal to the motor rating, which is usually given in horsepower.
Example 3
A 200-hp, 2300-V, three-phase, 60-HZ, cylindrical-rotor motor has a synchronous reactance of 12 omega per phase and negligible armature resistance. When it is delivering its rated output, the motors efficiency is 90% and its power angle is 17o. Determine (a) (b) The excitation voltage Ea The stator current Ia and power factor
(a)
From the power flow diagram, the input power is the same as the mechanical power developed, since the stator copper loss is negligible. Hence, Pinput = Poutput
