Gary -

  What you have is a synchronous motor, but not a salient-pole
synchronous motor. Your motor is RPM-locked to the line frequency
(1725-RPM motors aren't - they have what is called a 'slip' factor.)
but not indexed via discrete (salient) poles. The current draw should
be the first give-a-way. Hard-core salient-pole motors pull far more
current than a 1725-rpm motor of equivalent power.
