In this paper, a new brushless synchronous condenser termed the BSC‐Filter is presented. It consists of two wound‐rotor induction machines connected in a cascade, and acts not only as a synchronous condenser but also as a passive filter with a capacitor connected to its stator field winding. An equivalent circuit model seen from the sixth harmonic in the field system is illustrated using the method of symmetrical coordinates. Based on this equivalent circuit model, a fundamental formula is derived to select the capacitor value properly. The validity of the theoretical analysis is verified through experiments, and basic characteristics of the BSC‐Filter are clarified. In addition to phase compensation, this new machine is capable of reducing low‐order fifth and seventh harmonics in power lines. © 2001 Scripta Technica, Electr Eng Jpn, 138(2): 71–78, 2002
