Paralleling generators

The following is for three phase manual paralleling of two generators. Today's control systems will sense and do this operation automatically but the general process is the same. There are a couple of factors that have to be met when paralleling generators. The process of paralleling generators is called synchronization. What this means is that both generators have to be in phase with each other and running at the same speed. The generator that is running is called the lead generator and the one that you are trying to parallel is called the lag generator. There are two types of instrumentation used in synchronising, one is a light bank and the other a bit more sophisticated is a synchroscope meter. The synchroscope indicates whether the lag generator is faster, slower or in phase with the bus. The lag generator is brought up to speed just under the RPM of the lead generator. The synchroscope will be revolving very slowly in a clockwise rotation at this point. When the hand on the synchroscope reaches the 11 o'clock position the switch is thrown to bring the generator on to the bus tying the two generators together.

How synchronizing panel works?

A synchronizing panel is an electrical device used to ensure that multiple generators or power sources operate in unison, maintaining stable voltage, frequency, and phase alignment. It monitors the electrical parameters of the generators and automatically adjusts their outputs to synchronize with each other. This prevents issues such as power surges or outages, ensuring a smooth and reliable power supply. The panel typically includes circuit breakers, relays, and control systems to facilitate this coordination.
