Option 4 : Over Excited

Where

U.E = under excited

N.E = normally excited

O.E = overexcited

We can see from the V – curve that when the machine is overexcited it delivers reactive power Q.

In over-excitation, the synchronous motor is operating under a leading power factor and acts as a capacitor.

Hence we can say that the 3-phase synchronous motor works as a capacitor when it is over-excited.
