resultant of the fluxes due to both rotor current and stator current. In a synchronous motor if the rotor field winding provides just the necessary excitation , the stator will draw no reactive current; that is the motor will operate at a unity power factor. If the rotor excitation current is decreased, lagging reactive current will be drawn from the ac source to aid magnetization by tr rotor field current and the machine will
