Synchronous Condenser

 

Synchronous Condenser

An over-excited synchronous motor running on no-load is called the synchronous condenser.

 It is also known as synchronous capacitor or synchronous compensator or synchronous phase modifier.

What is a Synchronous Condenser

A synchronous motor can deliver or absorb reactive power by changing the DC excitation of its field winding.

It can be made to draw a leading current from the supply with over-excitation of its field winding and therefore, it supplies lagging reactive power (or absorbs leading reactive power).
