第8章 同步发电机和电动机 Synchronous generators and motors A synchronous generator is a device for converting mechanical power form a prime mover to ac electric power at a specific voltage and frequency. The term synchronous refers to the fact that this machine’s electrical frequency is locked in or synchronized with its mechanical rate of shaft rotation. The synchronous generator is used to produce the vast majority of electric power used throughout the world. A synchronous motor is the same physical machine as a synchronous generator, except that the direction of real power flow is reversed. The
