Two shunt generators and a battery are working in parallel. The open-circuit voltage, armature and field resistances are 240 V, 0.25 ohm, 100 ohms and 238 V, 0.20 ohm, 100 phms, respectively. If the generators supply the same current when the load on the bus bars is 80 A. Calculate the emf of the battery if its internal resistance is 0.172 nhm.
