🔍 Key Concepts

• Automatic vs. manual voltage regulation on shipboard AC generators • How generators are paralleled to a live bus safely • Function and typical use of the voltage regulator selector switch positions (manual, auto, bus neutral, transfer)

💭 Think About

• When you are about to parallel a manually started generator to an energized switchboard, do you want the generator voltage to be controlled automatically or adjusted by hand? Why? • Which selector position is normally used during stable, routine operation, and which positions are used only during transition or maintenance? • If the generator voltage needs to match the bus voltage before closing the breaker, which regulator mode makes that matching easier and safer?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which selector position is normally used when paralleling generators in service, not during testing or isolation • Verify which position is intended to keep the generator voltage in step with the bus voltage during synchronization • Confirm that the chosen position would avoid sudden voltage changes on the main bus when the breaker is closed
