noun

Electricity.

1. an alternating-current machine in which the average speed of normal operation is exactly proportional to the frequency of the system to which it is connected.

synchronous machine

noun

1. an electrical machine, whose rotating speed is proportional to the frequency of the alternating-current supply and independent of the load

Example Sentences

By using current-energized synchronous machine principles, BMW says it can achieve a higher energy density, especially in the rear motor, which in turn allows the automaker to achieve levels of performance it expects out of its 7-series vehicles.
