SUMMARY
The maximum allowable pitch difference for synchronizing diesel generator (DG) sets is crucial as it affects the waveform, although it does not directly influence frequency. While pitch differences may circulate harmonic currents, their detection through panel meters is challenging. The impact of pitch on synchronization is influenced by excitation levels, impedance connections, and external load conditions.
