sir,
why alternator output is connected to delta side in to
generating transformer? any reasion?

Answer Posted / raghavendran.r

I believe that it has got something to do with neutralizing of Zero Sequence components in the power system arising during unbalanced condition.
In star, the zero sequence current flows from the neutral to the phases during unbalanced condition.Where as the Zero seq currents wont be able to circulate in Delta connection as it would get cancelled out.
So I suppose that it could be the reason behind such kind of an arrangement.
But do confirm this answer with any other reference.

A powerplant has 8 gensets operating in grid parallel mode. In one genset sometimes there is pf variation and kvar variation. The plant operates in pf mode. When this variation is observed the load is stable, voltage is also stable, freq and genset speed is also stable. How will you check the functioning of pf card. What shall be the ideal output vdc of the pfc, from there it is input to AVR?
