Motoring effect
Motoring effect
(OP)
Hi,
when two alternators running in parallel due to governer fault the frequency goes down of one of the alternator and the alternator goes into reverse power assuming the reverse power relay does not trip what actually happens to the direction of the motored alternator and other parameters.
Thanks

RE: Motoring effect
The operating generator picks up the load that was supplied by the other generator plus enough load to motor the other prime mover. Motoring can be so subtle that if the reverse power relay fails and the operators are not watching the watt-meter, they may not be aware that the machine is motoring.
