    The document discusses the key differences between synchronous motors and induction motors. It notes that synchronous motors have a rotor speed equal to the stator speed, while induction motors have a rotor speed less than the stator speed due to slip. It also explains that synchronous motors require an external AC power source to sync the rotor and stator fields, while induction motors can self-start by powering just the stator. Finally, it provides examples of common applications for each motor type.

    CHARACTERISTIC IMPEDANCE vs SURGE IMPEDANCE

    -------CHARACTERISTIC IMPEDANCE

    In a power system network the characteristics impedance is given by the ratio of


    square root of series impedance of transmission line(Z) to the shunt admittance of
    transmission line(Y).

    Characteristics impedance = sq rt(Z/Y).


    Z=R+jX
    Y=G+jB

    The characteristics impedance is calculated for the transmission line with losses.

    -------SURGE IMPEDANCE
    The term Surge impedance is reserved for the special case of loss less line.

    For the loss less line the resistance(R) and conductance(G) are zero.

    Now the characteristics impedance of the transmission line is reduced to pure


    resistance in terms of dimensions.

    Surge impedance = sq rt(L/C)

    where, L -> inductance of transmission line


    C ->capacitance of transmission line.

    B. Faraday's law tells us the magnitude of the EMF produced.


    Lenz's law tells us the direction that current will flow.

    C. Mho distance relays are widely used for the protection of uncompensated and
    series compensated transmission lines in order to determine the presence and
    location of faults.

    D. Distribution networks operate at 2.4/4.16 kV, 7.62/13.2 and 8/13.8, 13.2/23 and
    20/34.5 kV, but the most common is 7.62/13.2 kV.
    Lines usually have one to three conductors strung on poles, and usually has a
    neutral line; six or more wires usually occur on lines carrying multiple circuits
    from a substation.

    E. SYNCHRONOUS MOTOR VS INDUCTION MOTOR


    The fundamental difference between these two motors is that the speed of the rotor
    relative to the speed of the stator is equal for synchronous motors, while the
    rotor speed in induction motors is less than its synchronous speed. This is why
    induction motors are also known as asynchronous motors.

    The asynchronous nature of induction motors creates slip—the difference between the
    rotating speed of the shaft and the speed of the motor’s magnetic field—which
    allows for increased torque. These motors are powered at the stator, while the
    rotor induces current—hence the name “induction” motor. Synchronous motors
    experience no slip because the stator and rotor are in sync and require an external
    AC power source.

    Synchronous motors include two electrical inputs, making them doubly excited
    machines. In three-phase synchronous motors, typically three-phase AC or another
    input will supply the stator winding required to facilitate torque generation. The
    rotor supply used is often DC, which either starts or excites the rotor. When the
    stator and rotor fields lock together, the motor is now synchronous. These motors
    are used in applications such as power stations, manufacturing facilities, and
    voltage control in transmission lines.

    Induction motors can start when they supply power to the stator, eliminating the
    need for a power source to excite or start the rotor.

    These motors also feature a squirrel-cage or wound design, which has led to the
    development of motor types such as capacitor start induction run motors, squirrel
    cage induction motors, and double squirrel cage motors. Induction motors see use in
    centrifugal fans and compressors, conveyors, lathe machines, and lifts.

    Power Factor
    A synchronous motor can operate under a wide range of power factors, both lagging
    and leading. The power factor of a synchronous motor can be changed by changing its
    excitation.
    An induction motor operates at only lagging power factor. The power factor of
    induction motor cannot be controlled.

    Conveyor belt, rolling mill, mixer, grinder are an example of the induction motor.
    Fan, blowing fan, a dryer is an example of the synchronous motor.
