🔍 Key Concepts

• Synchroscope rotation: what the pointer’s direction (fast vs. slow) tells you about the frequency difference • Conditions for paralleling AC generators: same voltage, same frequency, and in phase with the bus • How the oncoming generator’s frequency must compare to the bus to make the pointer move one way versus the other

💭 Think About

• Imagine the bus frequency is fixed. If the oncoming generator runs slightly faster, what happens to the phase angle over time? Which way would the pointer move? • Now imagine the generator runs slightly slower than the bus. How would the phase difference change, and how would that affect the pointer’s direction? • Why can’t the pointer stand still if the frequencies are not exactly the same? What does a slowly moving pointer indicate about how close the two frequencies are?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on which direction is labeled ‘fast’ and which is labeled ‘slow’ on a typical shipboard synchroscope (usually marked on the dial). • Confirm that direction of rotation indicates whether the oncoming generator is faster or slower than the bus, not just ‘out of phase’. • Remember that when frequencies are exactly equal, the pointer will appear nearly stationary, and you close the breaker at the ‘in-phase’ (12 o’clock) position only.
