Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The conditions that must be met before two alternators can be paralleled together.

Explanation of Solution

The below figure represents two alternators connected in parallel arrangement.

Electrical Transformers and Rotating Machines, Chapter 16, Problem 1RQ

The conditions that must be met before two alternators can be paralleled together are listed as follows.

  1. 1. The connection should be made to ensure that the phase rotation of all the machines is same.
  2. 2. The phases of the machine should be connected in sequence. The phase A of one machine is connected to the phase of A of another machine. Similarly, connect the phases B and C.
  3. 3. The alternator should have same output voltage.

University of Babylon Collage of Engineering/ Al-Musayab Department of Automobiles Mid Examination/ Stage: 3rd Subject: Theory of Vehicles Date: 14 \ 4 \2025 Time: 1.5 Hours 2025-2024 Q1: The arms of a Porter governor are 250 mm long. The upper arms are pivoted on the axis of revolution, but the lower arms are attached to a sleeve at a distance of 50 mm from the axis of rotation. The weight on the sleeve is 600 N and the weight of each ball is 80 N. Determine the equilibrium speed when the radius of rotation of the balls is 150 mm. If the friction is equivalent to a load of 25 N at the sleeve, determine the range of speed for this position. Q2: In a loaded Proell governor shown in Figure below each ball weighs 3 kg and the central sleeve weighs 25 kg. The arms are of 200 mm length and pivoted about axis displaced from the central axis of rotation by 38.5 mm, y=238 mm, x=303.5 mm, CE 85 mm, MD 142.5 mm. Determine the equilibrium speed.
