Yes and no. One generator may be operating in the leading VAR region, and the other may be operating in the lagging VAR region. This would result in reactive current effectively circulating between the two generators.
If you are talking about active (real) power, this should not happen, and will cause protective equipment to trip. Generators should generate real power, not consume it.

Is it diesel generators is DC or AC generators?
Most diesel generators are designed to produce alternating current (AC) electricity. However, there are some diesel generators that can also produce direct current (DC) electricity with the help of rectifiers or inverters.
Do generators supply direct current?
Yes. Alternators supply alternating current.
What is the formula of load calculation?
There are various formula of load calculation. Power equals current multiplied by the voltage. Power can also be computed by multiplying the resistance by the square of the current.
How the current flow in parallel connection?
In a parallel circuit, the current flow is independent in each branch.
What is meant by 1.55 in busbar current calculation?
Busbar current rating for 1 square inch is 1000a.
What will happen if it does not met the parallel operation of a dc generator?
there will be circulating current between the generators sufficiently large that might damage the machines.
In parallel operation of diesel generators why one neutral contactor is used?
To avoid possible current loop through multiple neutral points
Why you need parallel operation of dc generator?
The generators also have resistance which causes power loss and voltage drops. Connecting them in parallel reduces the total resistance that reducing the voltage drop as well as increasing the total current.
What is the difference between shunt generators and series generators?
1. In Shunt generators armature current is equal to sum of field current and load current whereas in series generators field current and load current is same. 2. Shunt generators field winding has high resistance and large no of turns as compared to series generators. 3. Shunt generator field winding has thin conductor and series generator has thick.
Frequency voltage and amperage must be equal when ac generators are operated in parallel?
Frequency and voltage, yes. Amperage - desirable but not mandatory. Paralleled generators that are equally sized generally have a load balancing control that accomplishes this function. Generators that are of different ratings may be loaded to different current levels because of their capacity limitations.
What has the author Roman Krawec written?
Roman Krawec has written: 'General operating characteristics of a back-streaming direct-current plasma generator' -- subject(s): Magnetohydrodynamic generators
What is the star delta motors current calculation?
The calculation will change daily. You will have to check with the website to find out the current calculations for your needs.
The electricity you get from batteries and generators is called?
Batteries and generators provide DC, Direct Current electricity.
Is it diesel generators is DC or AC generators?
Most diesel generators are designed to produce alternating current (AC) electricity. However, there are some diesel generators that can also produce direct current (DC) electricity with the help of rectifiers or inverters.
Do generators supply direct current?
Yes. Alternators supply alternating current.
Alternating current is produced by battery or generators?
A generator produces alternating current.
What is the difference between the welding current produced by alternator and the one produced by a generators?
Alternators produce Direct Current, Generators produce Alternating Current. Todays' cars have Alternators to charge the batteries.
