Two synchronous generators operating in parallel 200 MW and 400 MW respectively. The drooping characteristics of their governors are 4% and 5% from no load to full load. Consider the governors operating at 50Hz on no load. How will the machine share, if the load is 600 MW?

 generator 1 gets over load
 generator 2 gets over load
 200 MW and 400MW
None of these

In a dc generator operating on load with its brushes on the geometrical neutral axis (GNA), the magnetic neutral axis (MNA) is shifted in the direction of rotation. Now, if the brushes are given a lead of 90° (electrical), then the MNA will

 shift forward by more than 90°
 shift forward by 90°
 shift forward by less than 90°
 coincide with the GNA
