In a permanent magnet DC motor, a back EMF is generated back into the supply because the armature windings are spinning in a magnetic field supplied by the stator. In a synchronous motor, when under load the magnets (dc or permanent magnets) on the rotor are out of phase with the rotating field applied by the stator and so induce an EMF into the stator windings and hence back into the supply. In the synchronous motor, the flux needs to jump an air gap and travel through the stator winding to make a circuit. But in an induction motor, the bars are completely embedded in the rotor laminates. So how is the mechanical load reflected back into the supply in this case?
