    1. The document studies the transfer of load between two alternators running in parallel and how their volt-amperes vary with excitation levels. 2. Key conditions for parallel operation are the alternators having the same frequency, voltage, phase sequence, and voltages being in phase. 3. Tests were conducted where input power was varied to alternators while load shared, output, voltage, and frequency stayed constant to analyze load sharing and excitation's effect on volt-amperes.

    Objective:

    1. To study the transference of loasd between two alternators running in parrallele, keeping the
    load,frequency,and voltage constant.
    2. To stiudy the variation of voltamperes with respect to alternator excitation, keeping input power
    , output load, voltage and frequency constant.

    Theory:

    The conditions for successful parallel operation of alternator are:


    1. The alternators shall have the same frequency
    2. The alternators shall have the same alternator induced voltage
    3. The alternators shall have the same phase sequence
    4. The alternator voltages shall be in phase.

    The laod output of ther alterantor is governed by the input power from its prime -mover. Variation
    of excitation gives rise to a change in the kVar ouput; the kW output remins unchanged.

    Procedure:

    1. The alternators are conneted as shown in FIG.1 using two single-phase wattmeters
    2. The d.c shunt motors are started and the alternators are brought up to speed.
    3. By varying the alternator fields, the terminal voltages are brought up to the rated values(110V).
    4. The speeds of the sets are adjusted by means of the motor field rheostat control until
    thealternators run at rated frequency
    5. The synchronising switch is closed in the middle of a dark period of the lamps. ( The
    alterantors should now be working in parallel, but they should not be delivering any load. Also ,
    if the voltage and speed have been properly adjusted, there should be no interchange odf current
    between the alternators and the ammeters should read zero.
    6. For a particular load output at consatnt frequency and voltage, input ot the d.c machine is varied
    and the outputs shared by each alternator are noted from the wattmeter readings. Inputs to the
    d.c side are also noted.
    7. A graph is plotted between the input power and the load shared by each machine, as shown in
    FIG.2
    8. Keeping the input power , outputload , terminal voltage an dfrequency constant, the current
    outut of each alternator is noted for different excitaitons.
    9. A graph of output (in VA) versus excitation as shown in FIG.3 is plotted.
