Synchronous Motors (Part 2 of 2)

This video, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, is the second part of a two part lecture on electrically excited synchronous motors. The lecture covers synchronous motor construction and theory of operation along with electrical and mechanical properties of synchronous motors. During the video, presenter Jim Pytel discusses the steps of starting an electrically excited synchronous motor and provides a practical demo utilizing the material covered in the lecture. The demo walks through starting a motor, establishing field current, increasing torque to pull out, and measuring electrical properties.

This video runs 16:10 minutes in length. The first part of the lecture is available to view separately.
