Starting of Synchronous Motors

A synchronous machine with its field winding on rotor and polyphase armature winding on stator. At steady state running condition, its air gap field is

II. rotating at double the Ns w.r.t. rotor
III. rotating at -Ns w.r.t. rotor
IV. stationary w.r.t. rotor.

These days alternators are designed to have larger air gaps for
