Comparing Open-Loop and Closed-Loop Operation of a Synchronous Motor

This Demonstration compares open-loop and closed-loop operation of a non-salient pole synchronous motor. Non-salient implies that the reactance is equal along every axis due to the uniform airgap between stator and rotor. The voltage vectors and the current vector in the 
-
coordinate system are shown for the case of open-loop and closed-loop operation. The motor torque is proportional to the component of the current vector 
. In the case of closed-loop operation the current vector is always parallel to the axis.

Details
The current of a non-salient pole synchronous motor fulfills the equation
.
In this equation 
is the supply voltage, 
is the back-EMF, 
is the resistance, 
is the reactance, and 
is the imaginary unit.
The voltages , , 
, and 
are represented by phasors in the - coordinate system. The axis, which is the imaginary axis, is parallel to the phasor of the back-EMF . The axis, which is the real axis, is perpendicular to the phasor of the back-EMF .
