6. Two alternators A and B having 5% speed regulation are working in parallel at a station. Alternator A is rated at 15 MW while B is at 20 MW. When the total load to be shared is 12 MW, then how much of the load will be shared by the alternator B?
a) 6.85 MW
b) 5.14 MW
c) 6 MW
d) 7 MW
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: 1 α15 ;
P2 α 20;

P1 = 0.75 P2 …(1)
P1 +P2 = 12 …(2)
Solving above, P2 = 6.85 MW.

7. Two alternators A and B having 5% speed regulation are working in parallel at a station. Alternator A is rated at 15 MW while B is at 20 MW. When the total load to be shared is 12 MW, then how much of the load will be shared by the alternator B?
a) 6.85 MW
b) 5.14 MW
c) 6 MW
d) 7 MW
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: 1 α15 ;
P2 α 20;

P1 = 0.75 P2 …(1)
P1 +P2 = 12 …(2)
Solving above equations, P1 = 5.14 MW.
