Why the voltage n frequency of the incoming generator is kept slightly higher than d grid voltage n frequency while synchronization ?

Answer Posted / kj

In theory the frequency and voltage should match exactly.
In practice the incoming generator voltage and frequency
should be slightly hogher than the grid.

This is to prevent the set from tripping on reverse power
or kva. The incoming generator will pick up some load
straight away so the frequncy and voltage matches the grid.
