Type
There are two major types of synchronous motors: 'non-excited' and 'direct-current excited', which have no self-starting capability to reach synchronism without extra excitation means, such as electronic control or induction.
With recent advances in independent brushless excitation control of the rotor winding set that eliminates reliance on slip for operation, the 'brushless wound-rotor doubly fed electric machine' is the third type of synchronous motor with all the theoretical qualities of the synchronous motor and the wound-rotor doubly fed motor combined, such as power factor correction, highest power density, highest potential torque density, low cost electronic controller, highest efficiency, etc.

Famous quotes containing the word type:
“To put it rather bluntly, I am not the type who wants to go back to the land; I am the type who wants to go back to the hotel.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
“How is freedom measured, in individuals as in nations? By the resistance which has to be overcome, by the effort it costs to stay aloft. One would have to seek the highest type of free man where the greatest resistance is constantly being overcome: five steps from tyranny, near the threshold of the danger of servitude.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The ideal American type is perfectly expressed by the Protestant, individualist, anti-conformist, and this is the type that is in the process of disappearing. In reality there are few left.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
