STEP 15 INCOMING SET: SET GEN/BUS VOLTMETER SWITCH TO GEN 2-3, THEN GEN 1-2. VERIFY THAT AC
KILOVOLTS READING IS THE SAME AT ALL THREE SETTINGS.
STEP 16. INCOMING SET: CHECK PHASE SEQUENCE USING PHASE SEQ. SEL. SW AND 1-2 3 AND 3-2-1
INDICATOR LIGHTS. ENSURE THAT SETS ARE IN PHASE BEFORE PROCEEDING.
STEP 17 INCOMING SET: SET PARALLEL SWITCH TO PARALLEL. PARALLEL INDICATOR WILL LIGHT.
STEP 18 INCOMING SET: SET SYNCHROSCOPE SWITCH TO ON SYNCHROSCOPE WILL BEGIN ROTATING AND
SYNCHRONIZING LIGHTS WILL BEGIN BLINKING.
STEP 19. INCOMING SET ADJUST FREQ ADJ RHEOSTAT UNTIL SYNCHRONIZING LIGHTS ARE BLINKING VERY
SLOWLY AND SYNCHROSCOPE NEEDLE IS ROTATING SLOWLY IN THE CLOCKWISE (EST)
DIRECTION.
STEP 20 INCOMING SET: ADJUST VOLT ADJ RHEOSTAT USING GEN/BUS VOLTMETER SWITCH AND AC
KILOVOLTS METER UNTIL GEN AND BUS VOLTAGES ARE IDENTICAL.
STEP 21 INCOMING SET: WHEN SYNCHRONIZING LIGHTS ARE DARK AND SYNCHROSCOPE NEEDLE IS IN 12
O'CLOCK POSITION, SET BREAKER CONTROL SWITCH TO CLOSE. CLOSED INDICATOR WILL LIGHT.
STEP 22 INCOMING SET SET SYNCHROSCOPE SWITCH TO OFF;
STEP 23 ALL SETS ADJUST VOLT ADJ AND FREQ ADJ RHEOSTATS TO BALANCE THE LOAD ON ALL SETS AS
INDICATED BY THE KILOVAR AND AC KILOWATTS METERS ADJUST VOLT ADJ TO EFFECT KILOVARS
ADJUST FREQ ADJ TO EFFECT KILOWATTS.
STEP 24 IF ADDITIONAL GENERATOR SETS ARE TO BE PARALLELED, REPEAT STEP 11 THROUGH STEP 24,
ABOVE, FOR EACH SET.
STEP 25 ALL SETS PERIODICALLY (NOT LESS THAN ONCE PER HOUR) MONITOR ENGINE AND GENERATOR
