🔍 Key Concepts

• Synchroscope indication when pointer is moving vs. stopped • Relationship between pointer position, phase angle, and frequency difference • Conditions required to safely close the generator breaker when paralleling

💭 Think About

• What does a moving synchroscope pointer normally tell you about the frequency of the incoming generator compared to the bus? • If the pointer is not at 0° (12 o’clock) but has stopped moving, what does that tell you about the phase angle and about any difference in frequency? • Under what exact condition (pointer position and motion) is it safe to close the breaker, and how does this compare to the condition described in the question?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on what 0° on the synchroscope (12 o’clock) represents physically between the two voltages. • Decide what a stopped pointer means in terms of frequency equality or difference. • Check which option correctly describes: same frequency, but with a fixed phase displacement vs. same phase with different frequencies.
