What is the benefit of the equalizing circuit in generator load sharing?

In generator load sharing, the equalizing circuit plays a critical role in managing the distribution of electrical load among multiple generators running in parallel. The primary benefit of the equalizing circuit is its ability to prevent generator overload.

When multiple generators share the load, it is essential that each generator shares its portion of the load equally, as uneven load distribution can lead to some generators being loaded more heavily than others. This situation may result in overload conditions for those generators, potentially causing damage or failure.

The equalizing circuit helps to balance the load by adjusting the output of each generator according to its capacity and the total demand on the system. By ensuring that no single generator is tasked with more than it can handle, the equalizing circuit enhances operational reliability and longevity of the generators. Additionally, it effectively allows for the optimization of performance across all units, leading to a stable and efficient power supply.
