Option 1 : Rating of the alternator must be the same as other alternators

Synchronization of alternator means connecting an alternator into the grid in parallel with many other alternators, which is in a live system of constant voltage and constant frequency.

Before connecting an incoming alternator with an already operating alternator, the following conditions must be satisfied:

  1. Equal voltage: The terminal voltage of incoming alternator must be equal to the bus-bar voltage.
  2. Same frequency: The frequency of generated voltage must be equal to the frequency of the bus-bar voltage.
  3. Phase sequence: The phase sequence of the three phases of alternator must be similar to that of the grid or busbars.
  4. Phase angle: The phase angle between the generated voltage and the voltage of the grid must be zero.
