🔍 Key Concepts

• Paralleling alternators – what conditions must match before you can safely close the breaker? • Relationship between speed, frequency, and number of poles in an AC generator • How load sharing actually works between generators of different sizes or settings

💭 Think About

• First, think about what must be absolutely identical between two alternators running in parallel so they don’t fight each other electrically. • Consider whether two alternators with different pole numbers could still produce the same frequency if their speeds were adjusted appropriately. • Ask yourself if load has to be 50/50, or if it can be shared in proportion to each alternator’s kW rating and governor/voltage regulator settings.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option describes a condition that is strictly required for safe parallel operation (not just convenient or common). • Check whether same number of poles is really a requirement, or if matching frequency, voltage, and phase is what matters. • Consider whether equal load sharing is always necessary, or if unequal but controlled sharing is acceptable.
