Question

Why synchronous motor will always run at synchronous speed?

Answer 1

"Typically there are fewer rotor than stator ploes to minimize torque ripple and to prevent the poles from all aligning simultaneously - a position which cannot generate torque......The machine starts as an induction motor until it approaches synchronous speed, when the rotor "pulls in" and locks to the rotating stator field."
