(c) (1) The excitations are direct currentsIsandIr. For the given conditions ofωs=ωr=
ωm=0 andα=0,
Te=−LIsIrsinθ 0
which is a constant. Hence,
(Te)av=−LIsIrsinθ 0
The machine operates as adc rotary actuator,developing a constant torque against
any displacementθ 0 produced by an external torque applied to the rotor shaft.
(2) Withωs=ωr, both excitations are alternating currents of the same frequency. For
the conditionsωs=ωrandωm=0,
Te=−

+sin(α+θ 0 )]
The machine operates as anac rotary actuator,and the developed torque is fluctu-
ating. The average value of the torque is

sinθ 0 cosα
Note thatαbecomes zero if the two windings are connected in series, in which case
cosαbecomes unity.
(3) Withωr=0, the rotor excitation is a direct currentIr. For the conditionsωr=
0 ,ωs=ωm, andα=0,
Te=−

[sin( 2 ωst+θ 0 )+sinθ 0 )]
The device operates as an idealizedsingle-phase synchronous machine,and the
instantaneous torque is pulsating. The average value of the torque is
(Te)av=−
LIsIr
2
sinθ 0
since the average value of the double-frequency sine term is zero. If the machine
is brought up tosynchronousspeed (ωm=ωs), an average unidirectional torque is
established. Continuous energy conversion takes place at synchronous speed. Note
that the machine is not self-starting, since an average unidirectional torque is not
developed atωm=0 with the specified electrical excitations.
(4) Withωm=ωs−ωr, the instantaneous torque is given by
Te=−
