Q. Why is it that when one alter
nator runs as a synchronous motor
it acts as a condenser and causes a
lead of the current over the pressure,
and thus causes a higher pressure at
the motor than at the generator alter
nator, besides causing a large current
to flow, under certain adjustments of
the field excitation.
A. The pressure which drives the
current through the motor armature
is the resultant of the impressed
and counter pressures. Since the
synchronous motor must move at
constant speed the counter pressure
varies with the motor field excita
tion. By drawing a diagram of the
pressure it may be seen that with
strong motor excitation the current
must lead the impressed pressure.
When the current is not in phase
with the line pressure there must be
a wattless element, as only when the
current and pressure are in phase is
all the current “active.”
