Synchronous Motor

The term "induction motor" is interchangeable with the term "asynchronous motor'.

Errrrrrrrrrr,

Not possible.

"The term "induction motor" is interchangeable with the term "asynchronous motor'."

I don't see the problem with this statement, I don't think it should have been voted "Off Topic". But maybe is was a tad bit too terse for some. How abaout this:

The term "induction motor" is interchangeable with the term "asynchronous motor' and the "a" in asynchronous means NOT synchronous. So therefore a synchronous motor and an asynchronous (induction) motor are by definition not the same thing.

Sorry.. my mistake.. I read as synchonous instead of asynchronous..

Synchronous motors and Induction motors are entirely different

Synchronous motors has features like constant speed and rotor has permanent magnet

But in induction motors it is different speed varies according to load and rotor are short circuited bars

any way synchronous motors and Induction motors are entirely different in construction, operation and working principle

for short, no

Which one of the three phases would you like it to be synchronous with?

Salient-pole, single-phase, induction motors can be made by grinding flats onto specific portions of the rotor. Then the motor, usually 1800 rpm (previously 1725 rpm) or 3600 rpm (previously 3450 rpm), is a synchronous induction motor...single phase.

I think you think a lot before asking, little afraid to say something.

IM works under the principle of mutual induction followed by magnetic attraction with some slip where as Synchronous motor under direct magnetic attraction.

Can you say why you asked the question?

We don't class them as an induction motor.

As I see it, a synchronous is a specialized type of induction motor, it starts as an induction motor, and after the motor winding is energized, it becomes a synchronous motor. I worked on one, where, because the field wasn't getting energized, it started and ran as an induction motor for a little while before tripping out.

The answer is NO.
