rbalex Moderator Staff member Location Mission Viejo, CA Occupation Professional Electrical Engineer Feb 14, 2012 #2 The "raw" answer is 1800rpm. Volts is irrelevant. The "simple" formula for sync speed in rpm is: (60 x frequency)/(Poles/2) so (60x60)/(4/2) 3600/2 1800rpm Its a bear factoring it all out.
