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:
“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)
“The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.”
—Freda Adler (b. 1934)
“Under the species of Syndicalism and Fascism there appears for the first time in Europe a type of man who does not want to give reasons or to be right, but simply shows himself resolved to impose his opinions.”
