9) A 600 kVA, 1Φ Tx with 0.012 pu resistance and 0.06 pu reactance is connected in parallel with a 300 kVA Tx
with 0.014 pu resistance and 0.045 pu reactance to share a load of 800 kVA at 0.8 pf lagging. Calculate how
they share the load when:
a) Both the secondary voltages are 440 V. (8 Marks)
b) The open-circuit secondary voltages are respectively 445 V and 455 V. (12 Marks)

well labelled diagram, draw the vector group wiring and vector diagrams of the resulting sub-station
transformer to successfully parallel the two transformers to the power system. (4 Marks)

open-circuited, developed a voltage of 100 V between any two rings. Under the same conditions its rotor is now
