Yes, there is that exception, they need an excitation current, true, but 
in that case they make excellent brakes as they don't like spinning 
above synchronous any better than they like running below it.  And with 
enough dc current you can come pretty close to stopping them dead in 
their tracks. Certainly within one revolution.  But the armature is 
soft, and its not possible to maintain the magnetic field from its 
shorted turns armature long enough to extract any output power from it 
for more than a few milliseconds.
