If the field circuits of an unloaded salient pole synchronous motor gets suddenly open circuited, then (A) The motor stops. (B) It continues to run at the same speed. (C) Its runs at the slower speed. (D) It runs at a very high speed.

If the field circuits of an unloaded salient pole synchronous motor gets suddenly open circuited, then (A) The motor stops. (B) It continues to run at the same speed. (C) Its runs at the slower speed. (D) It runs at a very high speed.
Answer : Ans: B The motor continues to run at the same speed because synchronous motor speed does not depend upon load, Nα f....

A 4-pole, dc shunt motor working on 250V takes a current of 2A when running at no load on 1000 rpm. Calculate its back emf and speed at load if the motor takes 51A. Armature and shunt field resistance are 0.2Ω and 250Ω respectively

A synchronous motor is operating on no-load at unity power factor. If the field current is increased, power factor will become (A) Leading & current will decrease (B) Lagging & current will increase. (C) Lagging & current will decrease. (D) Leading & current will increase.

A synchronous motor is operating on no-load at unity power factor. If the field current is increased, power factor will become (A) Leading & current will decrease (B) Lagging & current will increase. (C) Lagging & current will decrease. (D) Leading & current will increase.
Answer : Ans: A Initially synchronous motor is operating at no load and unity power factor. When field current increases, the excitation will increase. Therefore, p.f will be leading and current will be I CosΦ < I...
