CONVERT EXISTING EQUIPMENT TO A SYNCHRONOUS CONDENSER

Synchronous condenser

In electrical engineering, a synchronous condenser (sometimes called a syncon, synchronous capacitor or synchronous compensator) is a DC-excited synchronous motor, whose shaft is not connected to anything but spins freely. Its purpose is not to convert electric power to mechanical power or vice versa, but to adjust. A rotating coil in a tends to produce a sine-wave voltage. When connected to a circuit, some current will flow depending on how the voltage on the system is different from this . Note that mechanical torque. An over-excited synchronous motor has a leading power factor. This makes it useful for power-factor correction of industrial loads. Both transformers and induction motors draw lagging (magnetising) currents from the line. On light loads, the power drawn by has. 1. ^ Weedy et al. 2012, pp. 173–174. 2. ^ Kundur 1994, p. 638. 3. ^ Fairley, Peter (24 July 2015). . IEEE Spectrum. IEEE. Retrieved 13 November 2023.
