Title
Synchronous Motor Pull-in Process Analysis
Abstract
In this paper, simple approach to analyzing the starting procedure of synchronous motors (SMs) is presented with an emphasis on the pull-in process. Instead of the classical, mostly intuitive pulling-repelling torque approach, an analytical method based on the motor mechanical part swing equation is employed. Factors affecting starting and pull-in processes are clearly indicated and torque impulse balance leading to a pull into step is revealed. It is shown that if the motor fails to pull into step within a single oscillation, it can still be synchronized during one of the succeeding acceleration periods. The crucial role of the excitation winding energizing instant is demonstrated as well. Moreover, the revealed similarity between the SM and phase locked loop (PLL) operations, leads to the conclusion that the algorithms use for analyzing the operation of one may be employed for investigating the other. Experimental results are given to demonstrate the different scenarios, mentioned in the manuscript.
