XIV. Division of Load in Parallel Operation 26. Much more important than equality of terminal voltage before synchronizing is equality of frequency. Inequality of frequency, or rather a tendency to inequality of frequency (since by necessity the machines hold each other in step or at equal frequency), causes cross currents which transfer'energy from the machine whose driving power tends to accelerate to the machine whose driving power tends to slow down, and thus relieves the latter by increasing the load on the former. Thus these cross currents are power currents, and cause at no load or light load the one machine to drive the other as synchronous motor, while under load the result is that the machines do not share the load in proportion to their respective capacities. The speed of the prime mover, as

  • Radiation / light: Compare the chapter’s radiation vocabulary with modern electromagnetic radiation, spectral frequency, wavelength, absorption, and illumination engineering.
  • Radiation / light: Radiation and wave language can invite ether-field comparison, but source wording, modern radiation theory, and speculative synthesis must stay separated.
  1. Open the full source text and the scan or raw PDF.
  2. Verify the chapter boundary and surrounding context.
  3. Promote exact quotations only after checking the source image.
  4. Move mathematical candidates into canonical equation pages only after formula typography is corrected.
  5. Move diagram candidates into the diagram archive only after image extraction, crop verification, and manifest creation.
  6. Keep Steinmetz wording, modern translation, and ether-field interpretation in separate labeled layers.
