Re: [TCML] 3 phase sync.



Correct, I worked on a 6 pole sync motor and the dc rotor had 6 poles.
Two pole motor would still require two flats.  This type motor is commercially available (synchronous-reluctance).

The toothed belt created quite the whine ("Satan's siren")  but they were both 4 pole machines (i.e. The 60 Hz machine ran at 1800 RPM, the 50 Hz at 1500 RPM)
