Phase Difference Between Two AC Signals: Can it be Zero?

AI Thread Summary
Two sinusoidal AC signals of 220V with a phase difference can be problematic, as the phase difference may reduce the overall amplitude when combined. To eliminate the phase difference, the generators must be synchronized, ideally mounted on the same shaft to ensure they rotate together. Attempting to merge the outputs of unsynchronized generators can be dangerous and is not recommended. It may be more practical and safer to purchase a new generator that provides the required 2A at 220V. The discussion emphasizes the risks associated with working with high voltage AC signals.

If i have two sinusoidal ac signals of 220V with the different phase angle i.e. there is some phase difference between them. Then can i make the phase difference zero?? Please tell

Hello akash, :welcome:

You should realize that 220 V can kill you !

What do you have available to influence the phase ? -- if anything at all
 
Ya i know it's dangerous, but i have to do it , Basically i have two generators who generates 220V ,1A current, and i have to add up to make it 2A, 220 volt, but the problem is that both currents are having some phase difference and this phase difference may create problem, means it can reduce the amplitude. So please tell some possible solution for this..

The generators need to be on the same shaft so they rotate together, fixed together so they rotate exactly together all the time.

Otherwise, expect it to be far cheaper to buy a new 2A generator.
 
Thread will remain closed because of the danger involved when an inexperienced person tries to work with AC Mains voltages.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
