Explain the condition for Paralleling of Alternators?

The following conditions must

be fulfilled for proper synchronizing of alternators. The terminal voltage of the
incoming machine must be approximately equal to bus-bar voltage. The frequency of
the incoming machine must be equal to that of the bus-bar. In the case of 3-phase
alternators an additional requirement is that phase sequence of the incoming
machine voltages must be the same as that of the bus-bars.
What does different position of the synchroscope needle mean; what is the
difference between 6 o clock and 12 clock?
6 o�clock means that out of synchronisation. We cannot parallel the incoming
generator. 12 o�clock means the perfect synchronised condition (voltage, frequency
and phase sequence match).
5. Why do we close the switch at 11 o'clock and not at 12 o' clock?
When the synchroscope is approaching 12 o'clock the "slip" (differential) between
the sine waves is approaching minimum (slip is zero when the synch'scope is at 12
o'clock) and the voltage differential between the phases is minimal (its zero when
the synch'scope is at 12 o'clock). Due to time taken to close the synchronoscope
switch, it is generally done at 11 o�clock. Due to the small delay to close, by
doing at 11 o�clock, we are achieving closing close to 12 o�clock.
