    Coupling generator to transformer consequences

    Yes there is a switch on the load side of the 30MVA transformer. That way the load can be brought on after all 4 generators are on line. This is a temporary power solution only. Not permanent. Our generators are already equipped with the paralleling gear and breakers on them. This will only be...

    Coupling generator to transformer consequences

    Yes, I can bring up the voltage slowly. Soft start at 120 Sec. Thanks for all the responses.

    Coupling generator to transformer consequences

    Correct, we will not be paralleled to the Utility. There will NOT be any loads on the system. We will bring the first generator on with its breaker closed and powering the transformer on startup. Once the generator is stable, the other generators will be synced and paralleled. When all four are...

    Coupling generator to transformer consequences

    Are there any consequences to coupling a generator to a large transformer? I have seen past postings that indicate this is a great way to eliminate inrush, but are there any factors that may be detrimental to the generator. I am going to be supplying temporary power with (4) 2 MW – 480 Volt...
