Difference between Synchronous Motor and Induction Motor

The following are the main comparison between Synchronous Motor & Induction Motor

Sr. No.Synchronous MotorInduction Motor
1.It is not self-starting.It is self-starting motor.
2.It runs at a constant speed known as synchronous speed.Its speed decrease with load.
3.Its speed decreases with load.The motor operates always lagging power factors only.
4.It can be used for power factor correction in addition to supplying torque to drive mechanical load.It can be used for driving mechanical loads only.
5.Its construction is complicated.Its construction is simple.
6.The motor requires a D.C. exciter.No exciter is required.
7.It has to be synchronized.It is not be synchronized.
8.It is not synchronized.They do not hunt.
9.Cost is more.Cheaper than a synchronous motor.
10. It is more efficient than an induction motor.Its efficiency is lesser than synchronous motor.
