7. Two 440V, 60Hz, 6 pole, 30 AC generators are running in parallel. The first supplies the busbars with 525kW of power at a power factor of 0.79 lagging. The second provides the busbars with 415kW at a power factor of 0.96 lagging. An additional load that requires 275kW at a power factor of 0.89 leading is added to the busbars. The two generators have their governor and magnetization controls adjusted so they provide 440V, 60Hz and share the active and reactive powers equally. What is the active and reactive power produced by each and their line currents and speeds?
