As the field current of a loaded synchronous motor is raised from a very low value, the armature current

  • A.falls steadily throughout the whole range
  • B.stays exactly constant
  • C.falls to a minimum and then rises again
  • D.rises steadily throughout the whole range

Answer: C

Correct answer: falls to a minimum and then rises again

This is the V-curve. Under-excited, the machine draws a lagging magnetising current from the supply; over-excited, it draws a leading one. Between them lies normal excitation, where the machine supplies its own magnetising requirement and the armature current is at its minimum, all of it real.
