Question 1 of 205eccefa4bacbc34ba4d4818e

You are attempting to parallel two AC generators, and the synchroscope pointer is revolving fast in the clockwise direction. What does this indicates in terms of the frequency of the incoming machine compared to the bus frequency?

🔍 Key Concepts

• AC generator paralleling requirements (voltage, frequency, phase sequence, phase angle) • How a synchroscope indicates whether the incoming machine is faster or slower than the bus • Relationship between direction of pointer rotation and relative frequency

💭 Think About

• If the synchroscope pointer is rotating, what does that tell you about the frequency difference between the incoming generator and the bus? • When the pointer turns clockwise, is the incoming machine running faster or slower than the bus? How would the direction change if you increased/decreased the incoming machine speed? • If the frequencies were exactly the same, what would the synchroscope pointer do?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm what clockwise rotation of the synchroscope pointer means in standard shipboard practice (which side is labeled "fast" and which is "slow"). • Verify what happens to the pointer when the incoming generator frequency matches the bus frequency (steady pointer or moving?). • Make sure the choice you pick clearly states whether the incoming frequency is higher, lower, or equal to the bus frequency, based on the pointer motion.
