Alternating-current transmission with synchronous propulsion motors also is used, usually in high-powered propulsion plants because it avoids the commutation problems that handicap high-power direct-current machinery. Exact electrical synchronization of motor speed with generator speed is required, but the mechanical speeds need not be the same.…
