    Yogesh Khandelwal
    This document describes the process of synchronizing an alternator supply with an existing power grid, including matching the phase sequence, voltage, frequency, and phase between the two supplies. The procedure involves energizing the DC motor and alternator field windings, checking and adjusting the phase sequence, voltage, and frequency using a synchroscope device to match the supplies, and closing the synchronizing switch when frequencies match. The effects of increasing the DC motor armature voltage or alternator field current are also examined.

    EM-5 Synchronizing an Alternator with the Grid


    Synchronous Machine
    Three-phase, 3 kVA, 50 Hz, 4 poles, 1500 rpm
    Armature (rotor): Y-connection, 415 V, 4.2 A
    Field (stator): 220 V, 1.4 A

    DC Machine
    5 HP,1500-2500 rpm, Armature: 440 V, 9.5 A, Field: 220 V, 2.3 A

    For synchronizing alternator supply with the existing grid , the following
    conditions are to be met. Both supply should have identical (1) Phase sequence,
    (2) Voltage, (3) Frequency, (4) Phase
    Synchronizing an Alternator with the Grid
    Connection Diagram

    Procedure:
    Step-1: As synchronous machine is mechanically coupled to DC machine, energize the DC
    motor first.
    Step-2: Energize the field winding of synchronous machine.
    Step-3: With the aid of phase sequence meter, check the phase sequence of alternator
    supply and grid. If those are different, change any two phases of alternator.
    Step-4: Observe the voltage and frequency of alternator supply and grid.
    (a) To match the frequencies, adjust the primemover speed. For this, vary the armature
    voltage of DC motor.
    (b) To match the voltages, adjust the field excitation of alternator.
    Step-5: Turn on the synchroscope (device that indicates the instant by which the two
    supplies get synchronized). The frequency deviation is indicated by a moving light dot.
    The clockwise movement indicates that the frequency of incoming alternator is higher than
    that of existing bus. The frequency is to be adjusted by changing the speed of primemover
    (DC motor) such that the light dot becomes steady at 12 o’clock position. This corresponds
    to identical frequency and phase of the two supplies. At this instant, turn ON the Sync
    switch. Now, two supplies are synchronized.
    Observe the following practically and provide justification.
    (a) What happens if the armature voltage of DC motor is increased?
    (b) What happens if the field excitation of alternator is increased?
