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.

∙ 12y agoA synchronous motor can operate as either a Generator or a Motor.
When a synchronous motor has current applied to the windings on its rotor and the stator is energized with say a 50hz line supply (with little or no physical load) then the exact amount of excitation provided by the rotor can determine whether the stator displays inductive or capacitive properties.
If the rotor is under excited (too Little rotor current) the Synchronous Motor will behave as an Inductor, however if the rotor is over excited then the Synchronous Motor will behave like a Capacitor.

∙ 14y agoA Synchronous Capacitor is a synchronous motor run at no load and is under excited. It is there purely to correct the power factor. It will act as a source of reactive power to your system.

Can you by-pass a capacitor in an electric motor?
You can not by-pass the capacitor in an electric motor. Most are capacitor-start motors which require the capacitor to be operational in order to start. If the capacitor is not working then it will need to be replaced.

Why is there a C in the equation for a discharging capacitor?
The C represents the capacitance (in farads) of the capacitor. It is a measure of how much charge a capacitor can hold. This is needed to know how much energy the capacitor is holding.
Can a larger capacitor be used in an air conditioner?
Function of Capacitor in Air Conditioner:Compressor Motor Capacitor: This air conditioning capacitor usually consists of two capacitors that are combined. This vital capacitor gets the motor running in the air conditioning unit.Start Capacitor: This capacitor provides auxiliary support and that is not a standard on every air conditioning unit. It can give the motor a boost to get it started.Indoor Blower Motor Capacitor: This capacitor is self-explanatory. It is responsible for starting the indoor-blower-motor and keeping it running efficiently.Outdoor Fan Motor Capacitor: The name says it all for this capacitor. It starts the outdoor fan and keeps the air flowing through the coils that run on the outside of an air conditioner.
What is the difference between capacitor and capacitance?
A capacitor is a device that stores an electrical charge, or if you prefer- resists any change in voltage applied to it. Capacitance is a measure of the size or ability of a capacitor to do that. This is the Farad
What is a geo synchronus satellite?
A geosynchronous satellite is a satellite in geosynchronous orbit, with an orbital period the same as the Earth's rotation period.
What is dc link capacitor?
when the DC current flows through the capacitor .the leakage of the charges is in capacitor called Dc leakage capacitor .
What two facctors determine the capacitive reactance of a capacitor?
The reactance of a capacitor is a function of -- the capacitance of the capacitor -- the frequency of the voltage across the capacitor
Can you by-pass a capacitor in an electric motor?
You can not by-pass the capacitor in an electric motor. Most are capacitor-start motors which require the capacitor to be operational in order to start. If the capacitor is not working then it will need to be replaced.
Why gang capacitor called so?
GANG capacitor is called so because it group of capacitor
Why capacitor is connected to earth in circuit?
when a capacitor is connected to earth the potential of capacitor becomes zero. as a result all the charge residing on the conductors of a capacitor passes away and the final charge on capacitor becomes zero

Can you use a run capacitor in place of a start capacitor?
No
What is a kinetic watch capacitor?
what is a watch capacitor answers
What effect does the series resistance of a capacitor used in a capacitor filter have on diode current and ripple voltage compared with an ideal capacitor of no resistance?
The effective resistance of the capacitor reduces the ripple current through the capacitor making it less effective in its function of smoothing the voltage. But if the capacitor filter is fed by a transformer and diodes, the resistance of the transformer exceeds that of the capacitor.
What is the differencebetween a run capacitor and start capacitor?
The run capacitor is used when the load is functional while the start capacitor is used to produce the initial torque to drive the load.
How a trimmer capacitor use?
A trimmer capacitor is a semi-adjustable capacitor placed across a variable tuning capacitor and pre-set to allow the main capacitor to track correctly with another variable capacitor on the same shaft. The adjustment takes out any differences introduced by the connected circuit.
