Parallel Operation of Alternators

Parallel Operation of Alternators


Advantages of Parallel Operation of
Alternators
• Continuity of service
• Efficiency
• Maintenance and repair
• Load growth
Conditions for Paralleling Alternator
• The terminal voltage (r.m.s. value) of the incoming
alternator must be the same as busbars voltage.
• The frequency of the generated voltage of the incoming
alternator must be equal to the busbars frequency.
• The phase of the incoming alternator voltage must be
identical with the phase of the busbars voltage. In other
words, the two voltages must be in phase with each
other.
• The phase sequence of the voltage of the incoming
alternator should be the same as that of the busbars.

Lamps Bright Method
Sychronization of Three Phase Alternators
• Step 1: Start the prime mover of machine B and adjust
its speed to a synchronous speed.
• Step 2: By adjusting the rheostat, the excitation to the
field is adjusted so that induced e.m.f. of B is equal to the
induced e.m.f. of A. This can be verified by voltmeter.
• Step 3: To satisfy remaining conditions, the three lamps
pairs are used which are L1, L2 and L3 as shown in the Fig.
1. These are connected in such a way that pair L1 is
straight connected while the pairs L2 and L3 are cross
connected.
