The maximum power developed in a synchronous motor will depend on__________?

Correct answer: D. the rotor excitation, supply voltage and maximum value of coupling angle (90°)

  • A. the rotor excitation only
  • B. the supply voltage only
  • C. the rotor excitation and supply volt-age both
  • D. the rotor excitation, supply voltage and maximum value of coupling angle (90°)
  • E. none of the above

Explanation

For a cylindrical synchronous motor, maximum power is proportional to EV sin 90° divided by synchronous reactance, where E depends on rotor excitation and V is the supply voltage. It occurs at a maximum coupling angle of 90°.
