Best Answer

Unlike a static condenser (capacitor bank), the value of reactive power from a synchronous condenser can be continuously adjusted.

A synchronous condenser also has other advantages over static condensers such as:

- not being affecting by harmonics (some harmonics can even be absorbed by a synch condenser)

- producing no switching transients

What is difference between synchronous motor and synchronous condenser?

a synchronous condenser is over excited synchronous motor under no load


What is a syncronous condenser?

A synchronous condenser is physically an electric generator/motor without a mechanical power source. Electrically a synchronous condenser changes the timing between rise and fall of current compared to voltage (phase angle). They also use stored energy to smooth small power fluctuations.


What is main the function of condenser?

heat rejection through converctional or static means.(fan or air cooled condenser)

How synchronous motor can function as a synchronous condenser?

If a motor is spinning under no load, it is storing some energy in the rotating mass. This energy can be stored and released in the same way capacitors and inductors store and release energy. This is what a synchronous motor acting like a condenser is doing. The way it appears to the power system is dependent upon the field current applied to it. If used as a motor, this is controlled to keep it spinning at the desired speed under load. If used as a condenser, it is controlled to determine whether it will be releasing power ahead of or behind the power system (absorbing or releasing VARs).


How does a static discharge differ from an electric current?

It doesn't differ at all, an electric current is electricity that is moving in a current and when static electricity is discharged from an object it creates a current from one object to another


What is synchronus capacitor?

A synchronous condenser (also known as a synchronous capacitor or synchronous compensator) is a DC-excited synchronous computer (large rotating generators) whose shaft is now not connected to any using equipment.


Difference between static excitation system?

It is called static excitation when you make use of solid state components like diode and thyristors to convert to pure dc and to use this dc for field excitation of synchronous generators. The field winding of synchronous generators can be excited by dc source only. It is called brushless excitation because use of carbon brushes are not made here.It is called dynamic excitation is when you make use of rotating brushes. Excitation is necessary to produce reactive power and also to regulate the voltage of synchronous generators.


What is synchronous machein?

mainly alternator,synchronous motor comes under the synchronous machine.a synchronous motor is not a self starting motor.if a synchronous motor moves with more than synchronous speed then it acts as a synchronous generator.

How is static friction and kinetic friction differ from each other?

They are different because static means "not in motion" and kinetic means "in motion". Kinetic friction means friction that is moving and static friction means friction that is not moving.
