Starting torque
- It is torque developed by the synchronous motor when name plate voltage is applied to its armature winding. It is also called as breakdown torque.
- It may as low as 10% in the case of centrifugal pump.
Running torque
- It is torque developed by the synchronous motor under running condition. It is determined by horse power and speed of the motor.
P = Tω
Pull in torque
- A synchronous motor is started as induction motor during starting condition and its speed below 2 to 5% of the synchronous speed.
- When the excitation ( or DC supply ) to the field winding is applied, the motor pull into synchronism resulting stator and rotor magnetic field rotates at same speed.
- The amount of torque requires for synchronous motor to pull into synchronism is called as pull in torque.
Pull out torque
- It is maximum torque which the synchronous motor can develop without pulling out of step.
- When the synchronous motor is loaded, the rotor falls back by some angle a is called as load angle.
- The stator and rotor magnetic rotates at synchronous speed in spite of some load is applied on the rotor.
- The synchronous motor developed maximum torque when the rotor falls back by angle 900.
- When the load increases beyond its maximum rating, the rotor steps out of synchronism and synchronous motor stop.
