Synchronous Motor
(OP)
Where can i find 1500 Hp, 4kv Synchronous Motor Efficiency? I talked to siemens rep, he sent me induction motor's efficiency chart. When I asked him again about synchronous motor, he replied they do not make synchronous motors of this size. Pleas see if someone can help me..
Thanks,

But efficiency in something that is built-to-order as these are will vary by design, speed, features etc. Usually you specify an efficiency you would like to see, then they tell you how much that will cost. In general though if you are just looking for an estimate, Synchronous motors tend to be more efficient than equivalent asynchronous motors, so if all you need is an estimate, using some data you can find on a SCIM will be a safe bet.

What is the speed?
RE: Synchronous Motor
Why do you need a synchronous motor? Are you using it as a condenser?

If it is broken, fix it. If it isn't broken, I'll soon fix that.
RE: Synchronous Motor
We require synchronous motor because of their higher efficiency which will help our client in reducing energy cost in long run.

Here was previous discussion of sync vs induction motors and their efficiency

good link by GE. Comments about other things to consider (like complexity, reliability, maintainability... all weigh in on the side of induction motors imo).
