A star-connected, 3-phase, 10-MVA, 6.6 kV alternator has a per phase reactance of 15%. It is protected by Merz-Price circulating-current principle which is set to operate for fault currents not less than 190 A. Calculate the value of earthing resistance to be provided in order to ensure that 85% of the alternator winding is protected.
