before synchronizing an alternator,power factor is leading ,why?..

Answer / Amarjeet Kumar Singh

When power factor is leading before synchronizing an alternator, it indicates that the lagging current of the sending alternator compensates for the leading current of the receiving alternator. This occurs due to differences in their respective operating conditions or load factors. To achieve successful synchronization, you may need to adjust the excitation or load on one of the alternators until both power factors are near unity and in phase.
