Best Answer

Setting the time-overcurrent relays high enough to prevent tripping for normal overloads may result in them not tripping at all due to the decaying characteristic of the generator fault current. Using the system voltage to control the overcurrent characteristic resolves this problem, since the voltage should drop very little for overloads, but will collapse to a small value for external faults. The 51V protection function uses the system voltage to adapt the operation of a time overcurrent element, using either voltage-restraint (51VR) or voltage-control (51VC).

Is this normal during a parallel of two generators where lead generator is higher in both load ampere and reactive power than the lag generator but with the same frequency same kilowatt load?

No it is not normal. Ideally both the generators share the load equally provided both generator ratings and other parameters are same.


Why shaft generator can not operate in parallel with auxiliary generator?

Normal shaft generators do not have droop-control for frequency and voltage. Semiconductor (drive) based variable speed shaft generators may have those today.


How does AMF panel for generator work?

AMF stand for Auto Mains Failure. Generally a generator/alternator power and normal commercial line switching over is done through it. A normal changeover, if mains fails you have switch the load circuit to generator, and when mains restors, generator supply will be cut off and fed to mains. in AMF this done by contactors and control circuits. if you want to know more......

How do you stabilize or regulate ac three phase voltage and frequency output from natural gas generator?

A natural gas generator connected to the grid has its voltage and speed (frequency) stabilised by being connected to the grid. All generators on a grid run synchronously, and it happens because if one generator has a tendency to lag behind it will produce less power and thereby maintain its speed.

Is generator power better than my normal electric power?

Your normal electric power is made to power all of your household. A generator requires much more maintenance, so if you have the option of using normal electric power, there is much less hassle. The generator can be kept for emergencies.

What size generator for 200 amp service?

Usually generators are not sized for the entire house load. At 200 Amps and 240 volts that would be a 48 KW generator. You can get by with less by just creating a transfer electric panel with critical circuits. You can probably get by with a 20 KW generator.
