Abstract
Now that development of brushless excitation has overcome the brush sparking and slip ring maintenance problem, industry can use large horsepower synchronous motors on its drives. These motors offer advantages in low starting currents with high starting torques, and the ability to supply reactive kVA to the plant system if desired.
