10. The synchronous motor is not inherently self-starting because

the force required to accelerate the rotor to the synchronous speed in an instant is absent
the starting device to accelerate the rotor to near synchronous speed is absent
the rotating magnetic field is produced by only 50 Hz frequency currents

Detailed SolutionThe synchronous motor is not inherently self-starting because
