Abstract
Synchronous motors are reliable and efficient, but it is relatively difficult to start them. In some cases, a variable frequency drive is utilized. In some other, asynchronous start is achieved by virtue of induced currents in a solid rotor, or a rotor damper cage installed for this purpose. In this contribution, a method to start a synchronous machine without a damper cage is presented. The starting was achieved by inverting the polarity of the rotor field winding in a timely manner with respect to the rotating stator field. The technique was verified with experiments performed on a 200 kVA experimental test rig and also simulated on a 20 MVA machine.
