Q

When two generators are on the line and are both connected across a shared load, how are they said to be operating?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between generators and the load when they share the same bus bars • Difference between series and parallel electrical connections • What resonance and frequency usually describe in AC power systems

💭 Think About

• If both generators are supplying the same group of consumers at the same voltage, how are they connected with respect to the load? • In a series connection, what happens to voltage and current? Does that match how ship service generators are normally tied to a common switchboard? • Which of the terms given describes a way of connecting power sources, rather than a condition of matching frequency or a special tuning effect?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option describes a type of connection between sources feeding a common load • Eliminate any option that mainly refers to a system condition (like tuning or matching), not to how the generators are wired • Recall standard terminology used when multiple generators share the same bus and supply the same load together
