The construction of a synchronous motor resembles____________?
Correct answer: C. an alternator
- A. a series motor
- B. an induction motor
- C. an alternator
- D. a rotary converter
Explanation
A synchronous motor has the same basic construction as an alternator: a three-phase stator armature and a DC-excited rotor field system. The distinction is whether the machine receives or delivers mechanical power.
