🔍 Key Concepts

• Synchroscope indication – what the direction of rotation tells you about relative speed/frequency of two alternators • Relationship between pointer direction (fast/slow) and which machine is faster or slower • What is happening before closing the breaker vs after paralleling (load sharing)

💭 Think About

• When the synchroscope pointer moves in the direction marked "slow," does that mean the incoming machine is faster or slower than the bus/load alternator? • If one alternator is already carrying the ship’s load and the other is not yet connected, which one does the synchroscope treat as the reference? • At the moment you are just watching the synchroscope (before closing the breaker), can any load already be shared between the two machines?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear which alternator is the incoming machine and which is the loaded alternator (on the bus) • Confirm what counterclockwise/slow rotation physically means: is the incoming alternator’s frequency higher or lower than the bus? • Remember that no load is shared until the breaker of the incoming alternator is actually closed.
