The generator is loaded The load current produces a rotating flux This rotating flux induces a ac three phase voltage in the tor winding. This voltage is subtracted from the induced voltage. represented by a voltage drop on the synchronous reactance The equivalent circuit of a synchronous generator is a voltage source and a reactance connected in series

Synchronization Verify that the phase sequences of the two systems are the same. Adjust the machine speed with the turbine that drives the generator until the generator voltage frequency is nearly the same as the frequency of the network voltage. Adjust the terminal voltage of the generator by changing the dc field (rotor) current until the generator terminal voltage is almost equal to the network voltage. Acceptable limit is 5%. Adjust the phase angle of the generator terminal voltage by regulating the input power until it is nearly equal with the phase angle of the network voltage. Acceptable limits are about 15.
