True or false: a generator can be connected to a live busbar whenever its voltage matches.

  • A.True, provided the machine is of the salient pole type
  • B.False, since a generator can never be paralleled with another
  • C.False, since frequency, phase sequence and phase angle must match as well
  • D.True, since matching the voltage is the only condition that matters

Answer: C

Correct answer: False, since frequency, phase sequence and phase angle must match as well

Matching the voltage magnitude alone leaves three other ways to be wrong. A frequency error means the phase relation is drifting, a phase angle error puts a difference voltage across the machine at the instant of closing, and a sequence error is worst of all - the machine is thrown against a field turning the wrong way.
