Synchronous motors run at synchronous speed. An induction motor that has the same number of poles must run at a sub-synchronous speed to create a second magnetic field (a field that is at a different phase angle) to generate torque.
synchronous motor is a constant speed motor because it will only run at a synchronous speed or not at all.the speed can be changed by changiing the frequency only ns=120f/p
When rotor speed becomes equal to Synchronous speed in an induction motor, it means that the slip is zero. Which means that there is no cutting of magnetic lines by rotor bars and hence no torque is generated. To generate Torque, rotor speed should always be less than the synchronous speed. That is why, you must have seen in your dailty life that all induction motors are rated below 3000 RPM(sync speed for a 2 pole machine). Sync speed (Ns) = 120f/P
A synchronous motor runs at synchronous speed, so there is no slip, or zero slip.
mainly alternator,synchronous motor comes under the synchronous machine.a synchronous motor is not a self starting motor.if a synchronous motor moves with more than synchronous speed then it acts as a synchronous generator.
Synchronous motors run at synchronous speed. An induction motor that has the same number of poles must run at a sub-synchronous speed to create a second magnetic field (a field that is at a different phase angle) to generate torque.
When the slip value (s) equals 0, it means that the rotor speed is equal to the synchronous speed of the motor. In this case, the output torque can be calculated using the formula T = (P * 60) / (2 * π * Ns), where T is the torque, P is the number of poles, and Ns is the synchronous speed. The speed of the motor is the synchronous speed in this condition.
The performance curve can be a graph of torque versus speed. The torque is zero at zero speed and also at the synchronous speed. Normally an induction motor operates at 90-97% of the synchronous speed, where the slip is between 10% and 3%. In this region the torque is proportional to the slip. As the torque is increased the speed falls until the motor stalls and the speed drops to zero. Below the stalling speed the torque rises between zero speed and the stalling speed. Because the torque is 0 at 0, a single-phase induction motor needs a separate starting winding fed by a starting capacitor to produce a little positive torque that starts the motor.
Theoritical torque speed curve for a synchronous machine will be a vertical line located vertical to the synchrounous speed at x axis, from starting torque to stalling torque value. This is because theoritically synchronous motors are not self starting. Practically however they start as induction motors and at near synchrounous speed the excitation is switched on. Anand Sekhar
As per the operating principle of the Synchronous motor, due to continuous & rapid rotation of stator poles,the rotor is subjected to a torque which is rapidly reversing i.e. in quick succession,the rotor is subjected to torque which tends to move it first in one direction & then in the opposite direction.Owing to its large inertia,the rotor cannot instataneously respond to such quickly-reversing torque,with the result that it remains stationary or in other words it is not self starting.
induction motors have very little starting torque as the motor come up to speed it reduces the torque load until it gets near synchronous speed

1. Induction motor has high starting torque, therefore use for operate pump which need high starting torque. 2. Induction motor operate on variable speed. 3. It can be used as generator when speed of motor is higher than synchronous speed.

Synchronous motors are those that run only at Synchronous speed ie.. constant speed.
An induction motor rotating at higher than synchronous speed would be generating power, thus would be a generator. No motor operating as a motor runs above synchronous speed.
