Consider the following statements about a loaded synchronous motor at constant excitation.

1. The load angle grows with load.

2. The speed falls with load.

3. The armature current grows with load.

Which are correct?

  • A.1 and 2 only
  • B.1 and 3 only
  • C.1, 2 and 3
  • D.2 and 3 only

Answer: B

The angle and the current both take up the load, but the speed is rigidly locked to the supply frequency and does not move at all. Confusing the angle with a change of speed is the standard error in comparing this machine with an induction one.
