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.

What is the Operation of reverse power relay in a substation?
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").
What is reverse power in generator and what happens in couse of reverse power?
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.
How are power diode classified?
by reverse breakdown voltage & forward current capacity
Why did your band saw motor reverse direction?
the power leads were wired wrong
What is the difference between reverse current and overcurrent protection?
A reverse current relay senses Power in (uses both voltage and current, and looks at the phase angle between these), and operates if power is flowing in the reverse direction, and the current is above a set point. An overcurrent relay looks at only current, and operates if it is above a set point regardless of power flow direction. Reverse current relays are often referred to as reverse power relays.

What does not occur during the power-on-self-test?

How does the power drill go in reverse?
Most power drills have a reverse switch near the trigger.
What is the significance of Synchronizing Power Coefficient?
The measurement of stiffness of the electromagnetic coupling between the rotor and the stator is carried out by the synchronizing power coefficient. If the value of Psyn is large, the coupling is stiff or rigid. For a too rigid coupling, with change of load or supply, the machine will be under shock which may damage the rotor of the winding
What is difference between reverse power relay and directional relay in electrical protection?
A reverse power relay is a directional overcurrent relay. Directional relays are relays that sense power flow in one direction, and include (directional) overcurrent relays, reverse power, and impedance based relays. So a reverse power relay is a directional relay, but a directional relay is not necessarily a reverse power relay.
During the nomination process political battles are most likely to occur in?

Which transistor is used for high speed power application?
In transistor the heat is created during transition stage means from cutoff to saturation and reverse, so if transistor used for high frequency application power loss can be minimized. The heat produced during switching is actually power loss.
What does NOT occur during the power-on self-test?
