@marino.tech.academy: Marino Tech Academy Empowering Seafarer's Through Knowledge Topic: 🔥 “GENERATOR kW IS SHARED EQUALLY—BUT ONE GENERATOR HAS HIGHER CURRENT. WHY?” 1. HOOK “Two generators are running in parallel. Same voltage, same frequency, and both are carrying the same kilowatt load—but Generator Number One is pulling much higher current. Why?” 2. “Don’t immediately blame the load-sharing system. Equal kilowatts only tell you that the active power is being shared correctly. Check the power factor and kVAr of both generators.” 3. “If one generator is supplying more reactive power, its kVA becomes higher—and even with exactly the same kilowatts, it can carry significantly more current.” 4. “Now investigate the excitation side: compare both generator voltages, AVR response, reactive-load sharing, voltage-droop or cross-current compensation, and verify the CT sensing circuits.” 5. CLOSING “Remember: equal kW does not always mean equal current. When generators share active power correctly but the amps are unequal, look at kVAr, power factor, and excitation.
