Two AC generators are operating in parallel and both are equipped with automatic voltage regulators. While standing watch, one generator is noted as having a greater lagging kvar value. In order to equalize the kvars between the generators manually, what should be done?

Correct Answer: Option C — decrease the voltage of the generator with the largest kvar while increasing the other generator voltage

Under USCG National Maritime Center examination standards, the accepted correct answer is: decrease the voltage of the generator with the largest kvar while increasing the other generator voltage.
