    Question

    Which device is used to measure phase difference difference between grid voltage and voltage generated by a synchronous alternator?

    A.

    Synchroscope

    B.

    voltmeter

    C.

    Wattmeter

    D.

    Power factor meter

    Correct option is A



    A synchroscope is the device used to measure the phase difference between the voltage generated by a synchronous alternator and the grid voltage. It also measures the frequency difference between the two systems.
    A synchroscope works on the principle of an AC motor. It has a pointer that rotates on a dial, and the direction of rotation indicates the speed of the machine:
    · Anticlockwise: The machine is running slower
    · Clockwise: The machine is running fast
    · Vertically upwards: The speed is correct 
    Connecting two unsynchronized AC power systems can cause high currents to flow, which can damage equipment.
