2. Initially the motor should be at no load and the auto transformer is at zero
position.
3. Give the supply closing the MCB and start the motor by means of 3-
variac.
4. For getting V curves allow the motor to run at one particular load.
5. For different values of field current note down the various meter readings.
6. Plot the curves between field current verses armature current to get V
curves and field current verses power factor to get inverted V curves.
7. For different load settings different V and inverted V curves will be
obtained.
Precautions: General:
1. There shouldnt be any loose connections.
2. The readings must be taken without any parallax error.
Technical:
1. The motor field rheostat should be in minimum resistance position.
2. The alternator field potential divider should be in the maximum voltage
position.

1. What are the basic differences between a 3-phase synchronous motor and 3phase induction motor?
Sol. Synchronous motor is a constant speed machine rotates at synchronous
speed where as induction motor is a variable speed machine rotates at
asynchronous speed.
2. What are the various methods of starting a 3-phase synchronous motor?
Sol. Damper winding method, pony motor method and DC motor
3. What is the power factor of the motor at normal excitation?
Sol. UPF
4. What is the nature of power factor, when a synchronous motor is operated
(i) under excited (ii) over excited?
Sol. Lagging power factor in case of under excitation and leading power factor
in case of over excitation.
5. Is it possible to operate a synchronous motor on any other speed than the
synchronous speed?
Sol. No
