A distinguishing feature of the synchronous motor is that it runs without slip at a speed determined by the frequency of the connected power source and the number of poles it contains.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A synchronous motor runs without slip and its speed is determined by the frequency of the power source and the number of poles it contains. This statement is true. The synchronous motor is designed to run at a speed that corresponds to the frequency of the power source and the number of poles in the stator. Unlike induction motors that have slip and rotate slightly slower than the synchronous speed, synchronous motors operate at synchronous speed without slip.
