Generator Synchronizing panel to demonstrate synchronizing procedure

Generator Synchronization Interactive Display


A Generator Synchronizing procedure is used to safely connect an A.C. generator to another running generator or to the grid.

 Before closing the breaker several conditions have to be met on the incoming machine:

  • The frequency must match the running system

  • The Voltage must match the running system

  • The phase angle of the incoming generator must match the phase angle of running system precisely at the moment the breaker is closed to tie the systems together.

This panel has double running and incoming frequency and volt meters, a rotary analog synchroscope (also lamps) to match phase angle, an oscilloscope to visualize the process, and controls to change the incoming voltage and frequency.

Edmonton Power Historical Foundation is a non-profit society dedicated to preserving the history of electric power in the City of Edmonton and the Province of Alberta, for the education and entertainment of current and future generations.

Edmonton Power Historical Foundation

Location: 

We are located on the grounds of the Leduc West Antique Museum. Travel 5 km west of Leduc on Highway 39. Go north on Range Road 260 (Cohne Dale Road) for about 800 metres and the museum will be on your right. If you're coming from the west, Cohne Dale Road is 5km east of Highway 60.

Hours of operation 2025

Alas, the days are getting shorter, the shadows are getting longer, the harvesters are in the fields, and the Edmonton Power Historical Foundation Museum is nearing the end of the 2025 season. Only ONE CHANCE remains to visit our Museum, to wit, the Lesco Truck Show on September 20th. Although the EPHF museum will NOT be open on Friday September 19, visitors are encouraged to come out to the Leduc West Site on Friday evening and welcome the trucks as they convoy in from Blackjack's Roadhouse in Nisku. The ground will tremble as almost two hundred BIG trucks roll into the site sometime after 5:00 PM, announcing their arrival with the deafening blast of dozens of air horns
Mark your calendar and make sure you come out for a visit. We'd LOVE to see you!

On the other hand, if you are interested in a private tour, just leave a message on this website and we'll do our best to arrange a time for you to come out.
