Submission declined on 9 July 2024 by Robert McClenon (talk). Thank you for your submission, but the subject of this article already exists in Wikipedia. You can find it and improve it at Synchronous motor instead. The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Synchronous motor. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

A synchronous machine is a rotating electrical machine in which the rotor (also: rotor) synchronous with the rotating field of the stator (also: stator).[1] Synchronous machines are often designed as three-phase machines, i.e. as three-phase synchronous machines. The synchronous machine bears its name because of the operating characteristic that its rotor rotates synchronously with the rotating field specified by the mains frequency. This distinguishes synchronous machines from asynchronous machines, whose rotor lags the rotating field in motor operation and leads it in generator operation. A further distinguishing feature is that, in contrast to asynchronous machines, an additional excitation field is required for the operation of synchronous machines.[2]
In principle, every synchronous machine can be operated as an electric motor and an electric generator.
Synchronous generators are used in the energy industry to provide electrical energy over a wide power range. They simultaneously supply active power and reactive power (generally from inductive cos phi 0.8 to capacitive cos phi 0.9 or as a so-called phase shifter, which only supplies reactive power) and meet the requirements of the transmission system operator for the electricity grid. The reactive power behavior is influenced by the excitation current.[3] The synchronous generator is connected to the grid by the synchronization process. In generator mode, the machine generally runs at a relatively constant speed, depending on the mains frequency.
Synchronous motors are widely used as drive machines in industry, for example as drives for ships and trains or for pumps and compressors. In contrast to generators, synchronous motors often have to be variable in speed. In order to be able to control the speed of a synchronous motor continuously, power electronics such as a frequency converter is used.[4] A rotary encoder (line encoder, resolver) constantly records the change in rotor position during operation. The control electronics use this to determine the actual speed. Under load, the rotor of the synchronous motor follows the rotating field at a load-dependent pole wheel angle. In generator mode, the pole wheel angle is positive in the direction of rotation, i.e. it leads.
