This document discusses the operation of synchronous motors under varying conditions of excitation and load. It analyzes V-curves and inverted V-curves which show the relationship between excitation voltage and reactive power output. It also explains how increasing or decreasing excitation affects the motor's power factor and reactive power output. Additionally, it examines how increasing or decreasing the mechanical load impacts the motor's power factor, load angle, active power drawn, and reactive power supplied or drawn. Phasor diagrams are provided to illustrate these effects of varying excitation and load on the motor's operation.
