Question 1

Em gen doesn’t start, procedure for paralleling generators manually?

Answer 1

• Carryout normal pre start checks
• Start up generator in manual and check
• Check the voltage of the incoming generator to confirm excitation. If not excitation then check AVR
• Check reverse power and overload trips are reset
  Check the incoming machines frequency, this should be slightly higher
• Switch on check synchroniser
• Switch on syncroscope
• Close the breaker when the incoming machine is at 10 to 12 on the syncroscope
• Once load has taken switch off syncroscope
• Balance the load
• Monitor both generator loads, pressures and temps
