A hydroelectric power plant is situated at the base of a large dam. Water flows into the intake near the bottom of the reservoir at a depth of 100.2 m. The water flows through 13 turbine generators and exits the power plant 118 m below the top of the reservoir at a speed of 11.3 m/s (at atmospheric pressure). The average volume flow rate of water through each generator is 105 m^3/s. Each generator produces a peak voltage of 11.6 kV and operates with an energy efficienc of 83%. Estimate the maximum possible peak current that a single generator can supply.
