Transformers Difference between synchronous and asynchronous motor

Question

Accepted Answer

Synchronous motors have a constant speed and are used in applications where precise speed control is required, while asynchronous motors have variable speed and are more commonly used in industrial applications.

Synchronous motors have a constant speed determined by the frequency of the power supply.
Asynchronous motors have variable speed depending on the load.
Synchronous motors are used in applications like synchronous clocks, whereas asynchronous motors are used in industrial pumps and fans.
Synchronous motors require DC excitation to the rotor, while asynchronous motors do not.
Synchronous motors are more efficient at higher speeds, while asynchronous motors are more efficient at lower speeds.
