Maximum Power Transfer Theorem

Synchronous Condensor

Synchronous Condensor: In electrical engineering, it is considered as a borderline between a motor and generator with no mechanical load In other words, it is a DC excited synchronous motor whose shaft is connected to nothing It can compensate either lagging or leading power factor by supplying or absorbing reactive power from the line It is also called as synchronous Condensor or synchronous compensator Working: Kinetic energy stored in motor of machine will help to stable a power system during rapid fluctuations of load It involves three conditions based on power factor: Under Excitation Unity or Ideal Over Excitation Under excitation: In under excited condition, the machine will operate at lagging power factor It draws lagging current from the supply line Lagging power factor can be corrected by supplying reactive power Reactive power drawn from capacitor bank decreases when grid Voltage decrea...

Synchronous motor - Detailed Description I

Synchronous motor vs Induction motor: In AC motor there are two types: Synchronous motor Asynchronous motor or Induction motor Lets see the main difference between synchronous and Asynchronous motor: 1. In construction wise : Synchronous motor has stator wounded on winding for specific number of poles and a salient pole rotor which is energized by DC supplysimilar to that of synchronous motor but the rotor may be short circuited squirrel cage or changing slip ring 2. In Speed wise : As we know Synchronous motor always runs at Synchronous speed where as Induction motor runs at speed less than\n synchronous speed Synchronous speed: N =Ns Induction motor speed: N<Ns 3. In working principle wise : Synchronous motor principle is magnetic locking , where as Induction motor principle is Relative Magnetic Field (RMF) as it is based on Lenz law 4. In power factor wise : Synchronous motor has the ability to operate in leading, lagging and unity where as Induct...
