A synchroscope is a device that measures the phase and frequency differences between two alternating current (AC) sources. It's used to synchronize the connection of a generator to a power grid, or to match an auxiliary generator to the main power system.
Synchroscopes are essential tools in power generation plants, substations, and other installations where accurate synchronization is critical. They work by using rotating pointers or a digital display to indicate the degree to which two systems are synchronized. When the phase angle and frequency difference between the two systems are zero, it's safe to connect them together. Connecting two unsynchronized systems can cause high currents to flow, which can damage equipment.

A synchroscope meter is used to measure the phase difference between the grid voltage and the voltage generated by a synchronous alternator. The process of testing a synchroscope meter involves observing the pointer's movement to determine if the machine is running at the correct speed:
Pointer rotates clockwise: The machine is running fast
Pointer rotates anticlockwise: The machine is running slow
Pointer indicates vertically upwards: The speed is correct
Here's how a synchroscope works:
The synchroscope's stator receives power from the existing alternator.
The incoming alternator supplies power to the rotor.
The phase shifting between the two supplies indicates the difference in frequency and phase between the alternators.
When the alternators have different frequencies, the rotor starts moving and the dials deflect.
The speed of the rotor depends on the difference in supply frequency.
The larger the difference, the faster the rotor spins.
Synchroscopes are electrodynamic instruments that use the interaction of magnetic fields to rotate a pointer. Unlike voltmeters and wattmeters, most synchroscopes don't have a restoring spring torque to overcome. This means the pointer system can rotate continuously.
