What is another word for synchronous motor?
Pronunciation: [sˈɪnkɹənəs mˈə͡ʊtə] (IPA) 
A synchronous motor is a type of electric motor that runs at a speed that is the same as the frequency of the alternating current (AC) supply that it is connected to. There are several different names and synonyms for this type of motor. In some cases, it may be referred to as a "fixed speed" motor or a "constant speed" motor. In addition, the term "salient pole" motor is sometimes used to describe this type of motor, referring to the pole structure that is used to create the magnetic field that drives the motor. Finally, synchronous motors are sometimes also called "brushless" motors, because they do not use brushes or other components that can cause wear and tear over time.
