what will happen if a 115v 60hz synchro is given a supply of 115v 400hz and vice versa —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.88.157.200 (talkcontribs)

If you power the device at too low a frequency, it will overheat, because it doesn't have enough reactance. If you power it at too high a frequency, it will work, but at a lower power level. --John Nagle (talk) 17:27, 8 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Remote Indicating Systems proposed merge

edit

That stub seems to be an application of a synchro mentioned in this article (4th paragraph). Could someone take a look at that article and see if a merge is appropriate? VG 17:58, 3 November 2008 (UTC)Reply
