Why are synchronous motors not self starting?
Can you explain to me why synchronous motors are not self starting?
Of course! Synchronous motors are designed to rotate at a specific speed called synchronous speed. To start rotating, the magnetic field produced by the stator of the motor must be in synchronism with the magnetic field produced by the rotor. This means that the rotor must first be brought up to the synchronous speed before the motor can start.
