Synchronous motors are essentially constant-speed machines, with their speed being determined by the frequency of the armature currents. The synchronous angular velocity

The simplest means of synchronous motor control is speed control via control of the frequency of the applied armature voltage, driving the motor by a polyphase voltage-source inverter shown in Fig. 10.10. This inverter can either be used to supply stepped ac voltage waveforms of amplitude
or the switches can be controlled to produce pulse-widthmodulated ac voltage waveforms of variable amplitude. The dc-link voltage
can itself be varied, for example, through the use of a phase-controlled rectifier.

The frequency of the inverter output waveforms can of course be varied by controlling the switching frequency of the inverter switches. For ac-machine applications, coupled with this frequency control must be control of the amplitude of the applied voltage.
The air-gap component of the armature voltage in an ac machine is proportional to the peak flux density in the machine and the electrical frequency. If we neglect the voltage drop across the armature resistance and leakage reactance,

are the corresponding rated-operating-point values.
Consider a situation in which the frequency of the armature voltage is varied while its amplitude is maintained at its rated value (
). Under these conditions,

For a given armature voltage, the machine flux density is inversely proportional to frequency and thus as the frequency is reduced, the flux density will increase. A significant drop in frequency will increase the flux density to the point of potential machine damage due both to increased core loss and to the increased machine currents required to support the higher flux density.
As a result, for frequencies less than or equal to rated frequency, it is typical to operate a machine at constant flux density. From Eq. 10.11, with

From Eq. 10.14, constant-flux operation can be achieved by maintaining a constant ratio of armature voltage to frequency. This is referred to as constant volts- per-hertz (constant V/Hz) operation. It is typically maintained from rated frequency down to the low frequency at which the armature resistance voltage drop becomes a significant component of the applied voltage.
If the machine is operated at frequencies in excess of rated frequency with the voltage at its rated value, the air-gap flux density will drop below its rated value. In order to maintain the flux density at its rated value, it would be necessary to increase the terminal voltage for frequencies in excess of rated frequency. In order to avoid insulation damage, it is common to maintain the machine terminal voltage at its rated value for frequencies in excess of rated frequency.
Figure 10.11 shows a plot of maximum power and maximum torque versus speed for a synchronous motor under variable-frequency operation. The operating regime below rated frequency and speed is referred to as the constant-torque regime and that above rated speed is referred to as the constant-power regime.

A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is ideal for situations requiring high-resolution imaging of surfaces. It is commonly used in materials science, biology, and geology to examine the topography and composition of samples at a nanoscale level. SEM is particularly useful for studying fine details,
