Starting-and-Synchronization
EEE
Starting and synchronization" refers to bringing a rotating electrical machine, like a generator or synchronous motor, to the same speed, voltage, and phase as another system before connecting it. This ensures safe and stable operation by preventing damaging electrical surges that can occur from mismatched conditions like different frequencies, voltages, or phase angles. The process involves adjusting the machine's speed and voltage, then connecting it when the conditions are precisely matched, which can be indicated by instruments like synchroscopes or synchronization lamps.
