Sudden changes of load on synchronous motors may sometimes set up oscillations that are superimposed upon the normal rotation, resulting in periodic variations of a very low frequency in speed. This effect is known as hunting or phase-swinging.
Hysteresis Loss = Kh × BM1.67 × f × v watts where Kh = Hysteresis constant depends upon the material Bm = Maximum flux density f = frequency v = Volume of the core Hence the hysteresis loss does not depend upon the ambient temperature.
