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


How capacitor is connected in a table fan?

The Capacitor with running winding is connected in parallel with main winding.


What is the function of synchronizing lamps?

The light system of paralleling generators has lamps hooked in series and connected between the hot lead of the lead generator and the hot lead of the lag generator. When one generator is running faster than the other one, the lights will blink off and on as the generators come in and out of phase with each other. Adjusting the throttle of the lag generator and bringing it closer to synchronise speed will cause the lights will start to pulsate slower and slower until they go off for a period of seconds and then on for a period of seconds. At this point the two generators are electrically paralleled. Count the time between on off on of the lights. At half the off time (zero voltage) throw the switch and the generators will lock together, the two generators will be running in parallel with each other. Manually to keep them paralleled requires a bit of work, as the faster generator will try and take the load and motor the other one. This is where a governor is a great asset. If the generators are tied together out of phase two things could happen. The least problematic would be the generators breaker will trip. The second and most dangerous is if the lag generator is just a little bit out of phase when the switch is thrown, then the generator will be jerked into phase lock as momentary heavy current flows between the two generators. The sudden loading of the generator has been known to break crankshafts of the engine driving it.


What type of induction motor is used in table fan?

Motor used in Table Fan is Split phase Motor(Continuous Running with Capacitor).It has Two winding Running coil + Starting Coil. Running coil connected Direct to Supply Starting coil Connected is series with capacitor than parallel with power.


What condition must be met to synchronize an alternator to an existing three-phase power line?

1.The effective voltages of the incoming generator must be exactly equal to that of the others or of the bus bars connecting them.2.The phase rotation or sequence of the running and incoming generators must be same.3. The frequency should be same.

What causes generators in parallel with same voltages and KW to have different amps?

If they are at the same voltage, and the same kW, the only thing left that will influence the output amperage is the power factor the generator is running at.


How can the power output of generators be coupled?

Generally speaking, the outputs of generators can be coupled by connecting the generators in parallel. In generators that produce DC (direct current), the voltages need to be equalized and the polarities of the connections needs to be observed. Both negatives are connected together and both positives connected together to create one parallel output. In an AC setup, the generators need to be running about the same voltage, and must be connected in phase for the setup to be successful. In practice, the generator that is being brought online is run up, and it frequency is allow to be a little bit faster than the unit that is online. When the phase difference is being observed, and the difference is approaching zero, at a "couple of degrees before" the zero, the generator that is being brought online is then connected to the grid and it "locks in" so that all the generators are running in phase. Connecting DC generators positive to negative is an invitation to disaster, and bringing an AC generator online 180 degrees out of phase with an running generator is the same kind of disaster. Shutting a breaker to parallel generators without insuring polarity concordance (in the case of the DC ones) or phase concordance (in the case of the AC ones) will pit one generator against the other, and severe damage will result.


What conditions are necessary for paralleling two synchronous generator?

•The RMS line voltages of the two generators must be equal.••The two generators must have the same phase sequence.••The phase angles of the two a phases must be equal.••The frequency of the new generators, called the oncoming generator, must be slightly higher than the frequency of the running system.
