A 480-V 400-kVA 0.85-PF-lagging 50-Hz four-pole
-connected generator is driven by a 500-hp diesel
engine
and
is
used as a standby or emergency generator. This machine can also be paralleled with the
normal power supply (a very
large power system) if
desired.

system? What
is the generator’s rate of shaft rotation after paralleling occurs?

what

S
OLUTION
(a)
To
parallel
this generator to the large power system, the required conditions
are:
1.
The generator must have
the
same voltage
as the power
system.
2.
The
phase sequence
of the oncoming generator must be the
same as
the phase sequence of the
power system.
3.
The
frequency
of the oncoming
generator
should
be
slightly
higher than the frequency of the
running system.
4.
The circuit breaker connecting the two systems together should be shut when
the
above conditions
are met
and the generator is
in phase
with the power
system.
