Because Power will vary and rest of generators will loose sync

Jay-quellin

It synchronizes the generators, which would run out-of-phase if they dont all run at the same frequency. Power would not be constant. Imagine a digital and analog clock. The analog clock will keep tra...

How will you differentiate the transformer is LT or HT transformer whether belongs to Voltage range or MVA ratings. Explain?

B Vinod kumar

• Jan 21st, 2017

Depending upon the rating of transformer we can say, is that transformer belongs to LT or HT and we have to talk about transformer in VA only not in voltage of watts because, it is load less ie., There will be no power factor.

Is a synchronous generator running a constant load has a longer lifetime than a generator running a variable load? If yes why?

Chandan dubey

• Nov 11th, 2016

It can be run but in practical there is necessary to change it. So if change in load in other gen. Will result change in current and load angle (angle between Sand v) and also change in active power, for which it will be need to arrange frequency regulating equipment, so overall cost will increase.
