Two star-connected generators are connected in parallel and


Two star-connected generators are connected in parallel and supply a balanced load of 1500 kVA at 11 kV line voltage and 0.8 lagging power factor. The synchronous reactances of the two machines respectively are: 35 Ω and 40 Ω. The primemover governors of the two machines are adjusted so as to equally share the power load. The phase current in one machine is 43 A, at a lagging power factor. Calculate:

(a) the phase current in the second machine,

(b) the induced emf of each machine, and

(c) the power factor at which each machine operates.
