A synchronous motor can be used as a synchronous capacitor when it is____________?
Correct answer: D. over-excited
- A. under-loaded
- B. over-loaded
- C. under-excited
- D. over-excited
Explanation
An over-excited synchronous motor draws leading current from the supply. This leading reactive current compensates lagging reactive demand, so the motor functions as a synchronous capacitor.
