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

In summary, two sinusoidal AC signals of 220V with different phase angles can be combined to make a total of 2A, 220V. However, if the phase difference between the two signals is not controlled, it can decrease the amplitude and create problems. The recommended solution is to have the generators on the same shaft and rotating together to ensure synchronization. Working with AC mains voltages can be dangerous and it may be more cost effective to purchase a new generator.

Hello akash, 
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.
1. What is phase difference between two AC signals?
The phase difference between two AC signals refers to the difference in their respective phases, or positions, on a sinusoidal waveform. It is measured in degrees or radians, and can be positive, negative, or zero.
2. Can the phase difference between two AC signals be zero?
Yes, the phase difference between two AC signals can be zero. This means that the two signals are in phase, or they have the same frequency and are aligned on the same point on the waveform. In this case, the two signals are said to be in sync and will produce a constructive interference.
3. What happens if the phase difference between two AC signals is not zero?
If the phase difference between two AC signals is not zero, it means that the two signals are out of phase. This can result in a destructive interference, where the amplitudes of the two signals cancel each other out, or a partial interference, where the resulting signal is the sum of the two signals with a smaller amplitude.
4. How is the phase difference between two AC signals measured?
The phase difference between two AC signals can be measured using an oscilloscope or a phase meter. These instruments compare the two signals and indicate their phase difference in degrees or radians. Alternatively, the phase difference can also be calculated using mathematical formulas.
5. What factors can affect the phase difference between two AC signals?
The phase difference between two AC signals can be affected by various factors, such as the frequency of the signals, the amplitude of the signals, and the phase shift caused by components in the circuit. Environmental factors, such as temperature and interference, can also impact the phase difference between two signals.
