Synchronous condensers are synchronous motors that are usually employed for power factor correction in power lines. Electrical circuits involving induction motors or inductive loads are usually encountered with lagging power factors, due to which the efficiency of the system goes down. Lagging power factors result in the loss of energy. Synchronous condensers are introduced in such circuits to cancel out the lagging power factor. They feed the circuits with leading power factors. However, ... Read more

A synchronous condenser, which is also known as synchronous compensator or synchronous capacitor is a device similar to a synchronous motor. It is designed such that its shafts spin freely. Its primary function does not include conversion of electric energy to mechanical energy or vice versa, but to regulate conditions on the electric power transmission grid. The field in synchronous condenser is controlled by a voltage ... Read more
