What does different position of the synchroscope needle mean;
what is the difference between 6 o clock and 12 clock?
6 o�clock means that out of synchronisation. We cannot parallel the incoming
generator. 12 o�clock means the perfect synchronised condition (voltage, frequency and phase sequence match). What is special about Steering gear Overload safety? Short Circuit protection and were appropriate-single phase protection is fitted. In addition instead of over current protection an Overload alarm is fitted set to operate at not less than twice normal running current. ALSO ASK YOUR SHIP E/O FOR INFORMATION.
3. Explain the condition for Paralleling of Alternators?
The following conditions must be fulfilled for proper synchronizing of alternators. The terminal voltage of the incoming machine must be approximately equal to bus-bar voltage. The frequency of the incoming machine must be equal to that of the bus-bar. In the case of 3-phase alternators an additional requirement is that
