1000KVA ,415V Generators.Parallel Operation Limitations

Jun 29, 2006 2 Replies

Dear Sir



We have four 1000KVA ,415V Generators.



Can we connect these Generators in parallel through Bus coupler Breakers when feeding a 415V Bus?



Is it reqire Bus coupler breaker to connect them in parallel ?



What are the limitations ?



Please Clarify.



Dear

it should be ok if you take care about the short circuit capabilities of the breaker and the bus.

of course you have to use synchronising equipement to connect them in parallele. ( this enables you to mach frequencies and voltage amplitude and phase).

Don't forget to have a look over the regulators ( voltage and speed), it is prefrerable to have droop caracterirics to eneable the generators to share equaly the load variation
