r may be used as a motor to start the machine,current to run it being taken from a storage battery. If the field of asynchronous motor be properly regulated to the load, the motor willexercise no inductive effect on the line, and the power factor will be 1. Ifthe load varies, the current in the… … ALTERNATING-CURRENT MOTORS. 1409 Synchronous motors are often put on the same circuit with inductionmotors. The synchronous motor in this case may, by increasing the fieldexcitation, be made to cause the current to lead, while the induction motorwill cause it to lag. The two effects will thus tend…
