Before a generator is connected in parallel with a live busbar, four conditions must be matched:

  • A.voltage and phase angle alone, the frequency being set by the busbar
  • B.the field current and the prime mover speed alone
  • C.voltage, frequency, phase sequence and phase angle
  • D.voltage and frequency alone, the phase being immaterial

Answer: C

Correct answer: voltage, frequency, phase sequence and phase angle

All four must match before the switch is closed. A mismatch in any of them puts a difference voltage across the machine’s own small impedance and draws a large current, and a wrong phase sequence in particular can wreck the machine and its coupling. Synchroscopes and check-synchronising relays exist to enforce exactly these four conditions.
