Question
Chapter 32, Problem 1RQ
To determine
Identify the terminology of a synchronous motor when it is operated without load and used for correcting power factor.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The synchronous motors can produce a leading power factor and can operate at the synchronous speed. Sometimes, the synchronous motors are used without load for correcting the power factor. The synchronous motors are called synchronous condensers when they are operating in this mode.
