Evaluation of synchronous machine Synchronous motor applications are required where a precise speed or position control is needed. It is more suited for constant torque and constant speed drives. Unlike 3 phase induction motor, synchronous motors can be designed for required torque, power factor and starting VA requirement to suit a particular need.

In this assignment students are required to choose any one of the application stated below and produce the technical report based on the application mentioned. 

Applications of Synchronous Motor 

1. Steel mills 

2. Metal rolling mills, 

3. Rock mining mills 

4. Ore crushers Mining Mills 

Questions: 

1. Select anyone application as mentioned above. 

2. Write the introduction based on the selected application. 

3. With the help of suitable illustration, explain briefly the construction and working operation of the synchronous motor. 

4. Provide the various sketches, drawing or pictures and various data (Voltage, current and power details) about the selected application with appropriate explanatio

5. Evaluate why the synchronous motor is the most suitable type of motor for the selected application compared to other type of motor, justify your answer with appropriate explanation. 

6. Identify and explain the starting methods and speed control techniques for the selected application with the relevant sketches/drawing. 

7. Write the conclusio

8. References
