Reactance diagram 1000 kVA base and generator currents
Short answer
On 1000 kVA base: X_G1=0.025, X_G2=0.002, X_Tr1=0.02, X_Tr2=0.0517, X_TL=0.0023, X_Tr3=0.0133 pu. Assuming equal emfs, load current divides inversely with branch impedances: G1 supplies 652.6 A, G2 supplies 547.4 A.
Develop the reactance diagram of the following network and express all the parameters in p.u. values based on power 1000 kVA and base voltage of 11 kV at low voltage side: G1: 1000 kVA, 11 kV, X = 2.5%; G2: 500 kVA, 11 kV, X = 0.1%; Tr-1: 1000 kVA, 11 kV/66 kV, X = 2%; Tr-2: 500 kVA, 12.5 kV/75 kV, X = 2%; Tr-3: 1500 kVA, 66 kV/400 kV, X = 2%; TL: 10 Ω/phase. If the load draws a current of 1200 A, calculate the current supplied by G1 and G2.
No figure is printed, so the usual arrangement is assumed: G1–Tr1 and G2–Tr2 feed a common 66 kV bus; from it the line TL and Tr3 (66/400 kV) supply the load. The two generator emfs are taken as equal, so the load current divides between the two generator branches in inverse ratio of their impedances. The 1200 A load current is taken as referred to the 11 kV level, since its voltage level is not stated.

Base values ( = 1000 kVA)
- G1 side: 11 kV (given). 66 kV bus: kV.
- G2 side through Tr2: kV.
- Load side: kV.

Per-unit reactances
| Element | X (pu, 1000 kVA) |
|---|---|
| G1 | 0.0250 |
| G2 | 0.0020 |
| Tr-1 | 0.0200 |
| Tr-2 | 0.0517 |
| TL | 0.0023 |
| Tr-3 | 0.0133 |

Current shared by G1 and G2
Branch impedances: pu and pu.
(In per unit the load current is pu. G1 carries 12.43 pu and G2 carries 10.43 pu.)
Answer: G1 supplies about 652.6 A and G2 about 547.4 A (54.4 % and 45.6 % of the load current).
Note: if the G2 reactance of 0.1 % is a misprint for 10 %, then pu, pu, and the shares become 1018.0 A (G1) and 182.0 A (G2).
