In the phasor diagram of a synchronous motor, the excitation emf

  • A.lags the terminal voltage by the load angle
  • B.leads the terminal voltage by the load angle, as in a generator
  • C.is exactly in phase with the terminal voltage at every load
  • D.is in exact opposition to the terminal voltage at every load

Answer: A

Correct answer: lags the terminal voltage by the load angle

A motor takes power in, so its rotor field is dragged behind the stator field and the excitation emf lags the terminal voltage. In a generator the rotor is driven ahead and the emf leads. The sign of the load angle is therefore what distinguishes the two modes of the same machine.
