When you wish to bring a second generator on-line in order to do maintenance on the first one. They would be connected in parallel, but not yet switched on together, until you are sure they are both in phase.
This is simply accomplished by connecting a light bulb between the Phase of one to the Neutral of the other. The bulb will wax and wane as the generators come in and out of phase. When the bulb is brightest, switch them together.

Generators cannot be connected in series because the power from one would necessarily have to pass through another overheating the stator coil and destroying the generator. In other words the power from the first generator would be converted to heat in the second OR it would turn the second generator into a motor drawing power from the system. Generators are equipped with reverse power relays to prevent this sort of action from occurring. By connecting generators into a parallel circuit from the "grid" it is able to generate power and push it out to the system.

Is it possible to connect a generator of 100MW in parallel to that of 50MW?
yes it is just hook it up and go you will need to check your calcs as you will increase your amperage. while not often done I have done this before.
What does Incoming and running generators are in same phase while paralleling two generators mean?
When two generators are to be run in parallel, one generator is first started and some load is given. Then second generator is brought in parallel with the running generator (subject few conditions, like voltage, frequency, phase angle). First generator which is running is known as running generator, the second generator which gets connected is known as incoming generator
Why two voltage sources of different voltage rating cannot be connected in parallel what is the coresponding statement for current sources?
Yes of course.. u just need some connecting wires to connect them in parallel
What is a compound dc generator?
generators are machines that convert machanical energy to electrical energy and could be AC or DC. if in a DC generator has it field armature connection in both series and parallel its said to be compound dc generator.
What size cables to connect a 45kva generator?
3.5 x35 sqmm Aluminium Cable
How it is getting current from generator?
To draw current from a generator, you need to connect a load to it.

How do you parallel two MEP 806B?
This will require a modification to your units to allow them to be "hooked" together. You will have to add another connection to your generator that connects to your generator output, one cable for each fase. Connect a slave cable from one unit to the other, and connect the communication cable so they can share the load. The generator will do the rest.
Can the refrigerator be connected to a generator?
Yes it can if you connect it with an 120v generator. But it depends on how powerful the generator is.
Why shunt resistance is connected in the parallel?
Shunt means parallel only..................
In MySims kingdom how do you start the computers?
You need to find a power source first. Such as, a windmill, etc.. Then you need to connect a generator to the power source. Then after the generator is working, you can connect wires from the generator, to the computer. After it is all connected, the computer(s) should be up and running perfectly! :) However, if you put a computer inside, there is no need to do all that work. A computer will work without a power source if it is inside.
What happens if you connect two transistors parallel?
If you connect two transistors parallel it will heat up and be damaged.
Polarizing a generator on a sportster?
Remove all cables from the generator. Connect battery's + (plus) to the generator's A and then connect battery's - (minus) to the generator's F (field) for a second. Might give a small spark, but that doesn't hurt anybody.
What are the differences of Long shunt vs short shunt generator?
In long shunt the shunt field winding is in parallel to both generator and series field. In short shunt the shunt field is in parallel to generator only.
How do you connect a parallel printer to a USB only computer?
To interface a parallel printer to a USB port, you need a USB Parallel Printer Adapter, Belkin makes a reliable one that I have used for years.
Does the electric company have to connect to your property if you have a wind generator?
If your generator makes enough power to run your equipment then no they don't have to connect to your property unless you ask them to,
How would you connect several resistances if you wish to increase the current?
Connect it in Parallel.
