A synchronous motor which works on a leading power factor and does not drive a mechanical load is called as_________?
Correct answer: C. synchronous condenser
- A. static condenser
- B. condenser
- C. synchronous condenser
- D. none of the above
Explanation
A synchronous motor running without mechanical load and over-excited draws leading current, supplying reactive power to the system. Such a motor is called a synchronous condenser.
