Two identical 2000 kW alternator operates in parallel. The governor of the first machine is such that the frequency drops uniformly from 50 Hz at no-load to 48 Hz at full-load. The corresponding uniform speed drop of the second machine is 50 Hz to 47.5 Hz, What is the maximum load that can be delivered without overloading either machine?
