Comparison of Methods of Parallel Operation of Aircraft Generators in an Electrical System

Abstract

In accordance with Project Directive TED No. NRL 31E70, a complete four-generator aircraft electrical system was set up in the Laboratory, and tests were made on each of four paralleling systems. Most of the tests were conducted with the circuits duplicating the electrical system installed in the PB4Y-2 airplane. Other tests were conducted on some of the factors involved in the design of any system voltage regulation and paralleling. For these tests, several components of the PB4Y-2 circuits were independently varied, to determine their effect on the system as a whole.
