Answer / meenakshi
hey ppl,to b honest,even i dint know the answer first...but
aftr surfing,the conclusion is both condenser and
capacitors are same..condenser was the term used till
1950's i.e, b4 ckt theory was developed. but now,condenser
is term used for rotating sync machines n capacitor 4 non
rotating machine...juz try this link..u vil get a perfect
answer...

Answer / sashidhar
Condenser and Capacitor are one and the same from electrical point of view.
Condenser is also another name from mechanical point of view to condense vapour to water

Answer / tanmay goon
condensor is group of capacitors which can be connected in
either parallel or series with a power line to compensate
reative power.

dear arvind how can u say that condenser is a device that is
used to remove heat energy from a fluid........
| Is This Answer Correct ? | 17 Yes | 9 No |
Answer / ge power system engineer
It's same device but little difference.
Capacitor consider ideal state.
and condensor consider real state.
for example) capacitor have only capacitance but condensor
include wire resistance, wire inductance also plate linkage
current is express equvalent plate resitance.

Answer / hazari
there is little difference between capacitor and condenser.
capacitor is related to electrical power which is stored &
condenser convert steam into liquid

What is an 86-P or an 86-A trip
What we change frequency from transformer. yes or no
Which one is given high energy in same power consumption AC or DC
How much current will a 5 HP delta connected motor at no load will take?Is tat need a starter
I need to compare the energy consumption of an industrial machine before and after improving. Shall I compare the apparent power or the active power? I know usually factories use compensated capacitors (or other similar components) to compensate the reactive power, so if I use the apparent power, it's not the real power consumed.
what is called inrush current??
what is arc flash and what are the hazards involved
If the load is 10Kw and power factor has to improve from 0.5 to 0.8,how can we select the capacitor rating accordingly.Illustrate by showing formula?
