3. Two generators are connected in parallel to the low-voltage side of a three-phase ??Y transformer, as shown in the figure below. Generator 1 is rated 50,000 kVA, 13.8kV. Generator 2 is rated 25,000kVA, 13.8kV. Each generator has a sub transient reactance of 25% on its own base. The transformer is rated 75,000kVA,13.8?/69YkV, with a reactance of 10% on its own base. Before the fault occurs, the voltage on the high-voltage side of the transformer is 66kV. The transformer is unloaded and there is no circulating current between the generators. Find the sub transient current in each generator when a three-phase short circuit occurs on the high-voltage side of the transformer. Hint: The circuit to analyze should appear as below.
