🔍 Key Concepts

• Parallel operation of alternators and how real power (kW) vs reactive power (kVAR) are shared • The role of governor speed setting versus field excitation • Which adjustments affect frequency/speed and which affect voltage/power factor

💭 Think About

• First decide which component primarily controls real power (kW) sharing between machines operating in parallel. • Then decide which component primarily controls reactive power (kVAR) and voltage sharing. • Eliminate any options that do not normally exist as an operator control for sharing load between paralleled alternators on a ship.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on the difference between kW (real power) and kVAR (reactive power). • Identify which device directly changes engine mechanical input (torque/speed) versus which changes electrical field strength. • Verify which control is actually adjusted in practice when you want to change how much real power each alternator is carrying.
