Induction vs Synchoronous Motors
Induction vs Synchoronous Motors
(OP)
I am looking for a graph of hP/rpm, showing the suitability of induction/synchoronous motors. Any Ideas?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Induction vs Synchoronous Motors
I don't like the complexity of sync motors... more to maintain and fail.
They may have advantages in terms of efficicency and power factor.
Try searching for old threads on this recurring subject. There is a good paper from GE on comparison of sync and induction motors that I linked to several of those old threads.

The GE paper is written with a bias towards synchronous machines and in the modern world induction machines are more suitable at some high ratings. Having said that, for your application, (ie low speed) induction motors will have pretty poor powerfactors. From that viewpoint synchronous is certainly the best candidiate at 10,000HP. For the smaller rating either would do the job, but the synchronous motor may well edge it.
