Synchronous motor

Principle

This experiment is to demonstrate the mode of functioning of a synchronous motor.

Benefits

• Simple design of all components, so that the student can easily recognise their function
• The possibility to set up function models gradually, so that functional relations between components can be understood
• No tools required for assembly

Tasks

Set up a motor that can be driven by alternating current. First with an electromagnet as rotor and a permanent magnet as stator and then with the two of them reversed.
