Added Torque to a 3 phase generator.?
A coworker of mine recently posed a question to me regarding a generator attached to the utility line. He claims that when they were generating power they could increase the torque on the machine without Voltage, Frequency, or current changing. To me this is an impossibility since the torque on the generator would have to match the load demand. Any more torque would result in an increase in frequency and voltage. Is he crazy or is there an explanation such as changes in impedance or slip which would account for what he saw?

Actually with a bank of generators, like at Hoover Dam one generator isn't going to be able to change the frequency or voltage but will supply more current if supplied with more torque.

he must be dreaming or something in order to increase the torque you will have to change voltage and frequency

He is craaZy. You can have voltage adjustment without changing speed. But that's simply an impedance adjustment. Ask him to prove this. I'd be very curious about this too.
Good luck
