Which outcome occurs when a synchronous condenser circuit experiences underexcitation during grid voltage sag?

A)Reactive power output decreases
B)Increased harmonic distortion occurs
C)Overvoltage protection activates quickly
D)Real load power dramatically increases

💡 Explanation

Reduced excitation in an operating synchronous condenser causes decreased synchronous reactance; because voltage support declines, and reactive power output lessens considerably. Therefore, grid stability becomes threatened, rather than increased load or harmonic distortions, under underexcitation failures in such circuits.
