Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFSynchronization of alternator means connecting an alternator into the grid in parallel with many other alternators, that is in a live system of constant voltage and constant frequency.
Before connecting an alternator into the grid, the following conditions must be satisfied:
Equal voltage: The terminal voltage of incoming alternator must be equal to the bus-bar voltage.
Same frequency: The frequency of generated voltage must be equal to the frequency of the bus-bar voltage.
Phase sequence: The phase sequence of the three phases of alternator must be similar to that of the grid or busbars.
Phase angle: The phase angle between the generated voltage and the voltage of the grid must be zero.
The first condition of voltage equality can be satisfied by a voltmeter. To satisfy the conditions of equal frequency and identical phases, one of the following two methods can be used:
- Three Dark Lamps Method
- Two Bright, One Dark Method
- Synchroscope Method
