Is there an electronic solution to automatically sync AC generators,
motors, or any other AC sources?
At my home I have a micro hydro setup. I have (2) 3 phase AC water pump
motors spinning backwards that each provide 240v 6amps, that I would
like to sync together. At the present time, I run them separately
running 2 different circuit breaker panels, and a set of capacitors as a
low cost line conditioner to smooth out peak surges.
I would like to parallel 2 more pumps as redundant backups in case one
of them fail. They have been running this setup for 2 years now. My grid
electric bill is down to just minimum service charges of about $17 a
month. I average 700KW a month usage.
My setup has a auto transfer switch from grid tie power to my motors and
backup genset.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
