Two generators, each having no-load voltage of 500 V, are connected in parallel to a constant resistance load consuming 400 kW. The terminal p.d. of one machine falls linearly to 470 V as the load is increased to 850 A while that of the other falls linearly to 460 V when the load is 600 A. Find the load current and voltage of each generator. If the induced e.m.f. of one machine is increased to share load equally, find the new current and voltage.
Write a technical manual of that will inform others of the efficiency and inefficiency of all types of motor and generator (ac and dc). Explore how any apparent inefficiencies could be improved. Show examples of these machines and using suitable examples, point out the areas of inefficiency (if applicable) and where and how things can be improved. Then provide the solution to the following as an example in your report.
