A 30-MVA alternator with 15% reactance is connected to a bus bar. A second alternator rated 25-MVA with 10% reactance is also connected through a 10% bus bar reactor to the same bus bar. Both of these reactances are based on 25 MVA. If a feeder taken out from the bus bars through a circuit breaker develops a 3-phase fault, what should be the appropriate MVA rating of the circuit breaker?(325 MVA)
