    Angle Load
AI Thread Summary
The load angle of a synchronous motor at no load is effectively zero degrees, as there is no active power being generated. This is because the rotor's magnetic field aligns with the stator's resultant magnetic field when no load is present. While some participants debated the terminology, the consensus is that the absence of load results in no load angle. The alignment of the rotor and stator fields confirms this understanding. Therefore, the load angle at no load conditions is indeed zero degrees.

hi all,

Just a quick question, what would the load angle be of a synchronous motor when running at no load. would it be 0 degrees or 45 degrees

What do you think and why?
 
to be honest I am really not sure, I suspect it is zero as there is no load so the magnetic field of the rotor is the same as the stator. am I on the right tracks
 
I agree w/ you, although I'm not sure I'd call it a "load angle" since there's no load :smile:

Yes. Active power is proportional to the sine of the load angle. No load, no active power, hence zero load angle.

No. You can say rotor magnetic field and stator magnetic field are aligned, or in other words, rotor is aligned with the resultant magnetic field.

I used to be an HVAC technician. One time I had a service call in which there was no power to the thermostat. The thermostat did not have power because the fuse in the air handler was blown. The fuse in the air handler was blown because there was a low voltage short. The rubber coating on one of the thermostat wires was chewed off by a rodent. The exposed metal in the thermostat wire was touching the metal cabinet of the air handler. This was a low voltage short. This low voltage...
Hey guys. I have a question related to electricity and alternating current. Say an alien fictional society developed electricity, and settled on a standard like 73V AC current at 46 Hz. How would appliances be designed, and what impact would the lower frequency and voltage have on transformers, wiring, TVs, computers, LEDs, motors, and heating, assuming the laws of physics and technology are the same as on Earth?
Thread 'How Does Jaguar's 1980s V12 Dual Coil Ignition System Enhance Spark Strength?'
I have come across a dual coil ignition system as used by Jaguar on their V12 in the 1980's. It uses two ignition coils with their primary windings wired in parallel. The primary coil has its secondary winding wired to the distributor and then to the spark plugs as is standard practice. However, the auxiliary coil has it secondary winding output sealed off. The purpose of the system was to provide a stronger spark to the plugs, always a difficult task with the very short dwell time of a...
