Two shunt generators, each with a no-load rating of 125 volts, are operated in parallel. Both machines have external characteristics which are straight lines over their operating ranges. Machine No. 1 is rated at 250 kW, and its full-load voltage is 118 volts. Machine No. 2 is rated at 200 kW, at 114 volts. Calculate the operating voltage when the two machines supply a total current of 3,400 amp. How is the load divided between the two?
