The most effective method of synchronizing the alternators is through the use of synchroscopes.

Synchroscopes are instruments that provide a visual indication of the phase difference and frequency
between the alternator and the power system.

To synchronize the alternators using synchroscopes, the following steps are typically taken:

1.Start the second alternator and bring it up to the rated speed.

2.Adjust the voltage of the second alternator to match that of the first alternator.

3.Adjust the frequency of the second alternator to match that of the first alternator.

4.Use the synchroscope to observe the phase difference between the two alternators.

5.Adjust the speed of the second alternator until the synchroscope shows that the phase difference is
zero.

6.Close the circuit breaker to connect the second alternator to the power system.

By using synchroscopes, the synchronizing process is more accurate and efficient, minimizing the risk of
damage to the alternators and the power system during the synchronization process.
