The synchronous type motor has some *characteristics that no other type motor has*. Some of these characteristic are: 1. The synchronous motor will run at the same speed whether it has no load or is fully loaded. 2. The synchronous motor is not an induction type motor. It does not need the induced voltage from the stator to cause a magnetic field in the rotor. 3. Not only does the synchronous motor correct its own power factor, but it can also correct the power factor to all the other motors that are connected to the same power line.
