APPLICATION OF SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR
• They are used Voltage Regulation of Transmission lines.
• Over Excited Synchronous motor used to improve Power Factor of
the plant carrying rated load.
• Synchronous Motors are particularly attractive at low speed .because
Power Factor can always be adjusted to unity and efficiency is high.
