🔍 Key Concepts

• Paralleling alternators: what electrical conditions must match before closing the breaker (voltage, frequency, phase sequence, phase angle) • Synchronizing lamps and synchroscope: how lamp brightness changes as phase angle moves toward 0° or 180° • Difference between lamps being dark at 0° vs. bright at 180° in the dark-lamp synchronizing method

💭 Think About

• When the synchroscope pointer is at or near 0°, what does that say about the relationship between the two alternators’ voltages? • In the dark-lamp method, what does it mean physically when the lamps go completely dark—are the voltages more likely in-phase (0°) or opposite-phase (180°)? • Under what exact condition is it safe to close the breaker when bringing an alternator on the bus? Match that to the choice that best fits.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which phase relationship (0° or 180°) corresponds to minimum voltage difference and thus minimum lamp brightness in the dark-lamp method • Confirm that the synchroscope pointer near 0° corresponds to in-phase or out-of-phase operation • Check which option describes the normal condition just before closing the circuit breaker during correct synchronizing, not a fault or error condition
