To test the generators reverse power relay to make sure the generator is spinning at the right speed and a fuel issue is not involved. If it is not a fuel issue you need to check the frequency of the electronic load and frequency. If both of these issues are okay check the diesel electronic control unit for dirt and dust. This unit needs to be clean.

synchronous generator
It is wise to start thinking of power in DC circuit. If a load is connected to a power source in a DC circuit, the corresponding VOLT CURRENT plot both will be in the positive quadrant. Of course, polarity must be correct. Now if the CURRENT (in the same polarity arrangement) happens to be in the negative quadrant, the power is said to be reversed. The same can be thought in an AC circuit. Taking a half wave cycle of both VOLT and CURRENT, one can apply the same understanding as in the DC circuit. If the AC circuit is capacitive or inductive, VOLT and CURRENT waves will be shifted according to the value of the capacitive or inductive load, and here one has to be aware.

because working principle of both the things are same.The motor converts electrical energy in to mechanical via magnetic induction and generator do the exact opposite of this.And yes,you should use 'electricity generator' not only 'generator'.
Not necessarily. Reverse power simply means that the load is providing power to the generator, instead of the reverse. Its not a good place to be, because you waste the power needed to turn the generator, and you could damage it as well.
Reverse power flow into a generator can occur during synchronization if the generator is spinning too slowly, or the voltage phase angle is lagging relative to the power system. If the generator is spinning too slowly, power from the system is used by the generator to increase its' speed. If the phase angle is lagging, an initial spike of power will flow into the generator to force it into sync with the system. Typically generator's will match system frequency very closesly, and force the phase angle to leading slightly between the generator and the system. When synchronized, an extra bump of power will flow out while the generator is torqued into phase with the system. This will avoid tripping any reverse power devices.

Reverse power relays are often used in generator protection to trip breakers if generators are "sucking in" power (since this shouldn't occur, it is a BAD thing when it does). I'm not sure there is a use for reverse power relays beyond this; directional relays looking in a reverse direction are often used in pilotting schemes, though (not "reverse power").

I guess you're thinking that reverse power is a generation error, but it is a change in flow direction. When two generator are running in parallel nd of sudden a generator2 prime is dropped nd due to circuit breaker2 is still in on state Gen2 draws power from Gen1 and acts as a motor. this action will damage the prime mover(engine) nd AVR too. Of course upto 10 amp of reverse current is allowed into a generator as of considering as back emf (while running as generator). So in order to stop thing reverse power, a relay is used which senses the directional flow of power nd immediately turns off the circuit breaker of off prime mover unmatched droop also develops this reverse power flow because of change in voltage nd load sharing
The reverse KVAR relay protects a generator from a loss of excitation. When the excitation system is lost, reactive power will flow from the system back into the generator. When this happens, induced currents at twice the system frequency will flow in the rotor windings and rotor structure.
because the incoming generator has be connected as a source and not a load to the grid. if the frequency of the incoming generator is lower than the grid frequency then ... it will behave as a motor drawing power from the grid and generator will trip in reverse power protection.

You should not just leave your emergency power generator in the basement all of the time without looking at it to make sure that it is working. Test it once a month to be sure that nothing has gone wrong. You do not want to find yourself in an actual emergency with a generator that has been broken for months or years. Testing it will allow you to know that it is ready and reliable.
An electrical motor generator in reverse means that it can turn the electrical energy to mechanical and kinetic energy.
A reverse current relay prevents a generator from discharging the battery when generator output is less than battery voltage. When generator output is greater than battery voltage, the reverse current relay closes and connects generator to electrical bus.
