Torque as a function of load angle
Figure 2.25 Torque as a function of load angle in the synchronous machine 
with salient-pole rotor
Idling of the reluctance/
synchronous motor
Loading of the reluctance/
synchronous motor
The stator field 
Φ
1 with the field system of 
the rotor 
Φ
2 represents a fixed magnetic 
adhesion.
As the load on the shaft increases, the rotor 
displacement angle/load angle increases 
steadily. The speed remains synchronous.
