🔍 Key Concepts

• AC generator voltage, frequency, and excitation when operating in parallel • difference between real power (kW) sharing and reactive power (kVAR / power factor) sharing • how field excitation current affects power factor in synchronous generators

💭 Think About

• When two AC generators are running in parallel at the same speed and voltage, what specific control or parameter mainly affects their reactive power (kVAR) and power factor? • Which part of the generator system controls the strength of the magnetic field and therefore the reactive component of the output current? • If you wanted to correct a lagging power factor on a synchronous generator, what adjustment would you typically make: speed, load, or excitation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Distinguish clearly between what changes real power (kW) (usually mechanical input / prime mover) and what changes reactive power (kVAR) / power factor (usually excitation). • Verify which option directly influences the generator’s magnetic field and thus its reactive current contribution. • Confirm that automatic equalization is usually done by automatic voltage regulators (AVRs) acting on a specific generator parameter, not on the external load itself.
