hi all
i want to know What is the difference between synchronous and asynchronous motor?
thanks

Most dc motors, including both brush motors (series connected, shunt connected, permanent magnet) and brushless motors are asynchronous, in part because there is no periodic time signal. There are many types of stepping motors that are inherently synchronous to a clock. Also, Hall-Effect sensor-type brushless motors can be synchronized to an external clock. Other dc motors can be controlled by feeding back an RPM signal to a controller.samieee said:may dc motor can be asynchronous??
A synchronous motor is an AC motor that operates at a fixed speed and is synchronized with the frequency of the power supply. It has a rotor that rotates at the same speed as the rotating magnetic field of the stator, resulting in a constant speed of operation.
An asynchronous motor, also known as an induction motor, is an AC motor that operates at a variable speed. It does not have a fixed relationship between the rotating magnetic field of the stator and the rotor speed, resulting in a speed difference known as slip. This allows the motor to adjust its speed based on the load it is carrying.
The main difference between synchronous and asynchronous motors is the speed at which they operate. Synchronous motors operate at a fixed speed, while asynchronous motors operate at a variable speed. Additionally, synchronous motors require an external power source to create the rotating magnetic field, while asynchronous motors are self-starting.
Synchronous motors are generally more efficient than asynchronous motors. This is because synchronous motors do not have slip losses, which can reduce the efficiency of asynchronous motors. However, the efficiency of an asynchronous motor can be improved by using a variable frequency drive.
Synchronous motors are typically used in applications that require a constant speed, such as in industrial machines, clocks, and power generation. They are also commonly used in synchronous motors, where precise control of speed and position is necessary.
