A synchronous motor fed from a variable-frequency converter can be started by

  • A.short-circuiting the field winding until the machine reaches speed
  • B.raising the frequency slowly from zero
  • C.applying rated frequency and letting the damper winding accelerate the rotor
  • D.reversing the phase sequence briefly at the instant of switching on

Answer: B

Correct answer: raising the frequency slowly from zero

With a variable-frequency converter the synchronous speed can be started at zero and increased gradually, so the rotor field never has to catch a field that is already rotating quickly - it accelerates in step from rest. The voltage is raised with the frequency to hold the flux constant. This is the standard start for a converter-fed drive and removes the need for a damper winding to act as a starting cage.
