Two compound generators are operated in parallel. If generator A has a series-field resistance of 0.0015 ohm and is adjusted to take 20 percent of the line load while generator B with a series field resistance of 0.001 ohm takes the remainder of the load. Determine the current flow in the two series fields and the equalizer when the load is 250 kw at 230 volts.
