Abstract

The similarity between unloaded synchronous motor (SM) pull-into-step mechanism and phase locked loop (PLL) synchronization procedure is revealed in this letter. It is shown that both processes possess analogous structure and may therefore be described by same type of equations. As a result, the methodologies used for describing the phase locked loop synchronization may be useful in synchronous motor starting process analysis and vice versa.
