1. Two 1-ph transformers with identical turns ratio are working in parallel to supply a load of 400 KVA at
0.8 power factor leading. The rating and equivalent impedances (referred to low voltage side) of the
transformers are as follows (the iron losses of each transformer is neglected)::

Transformer KVA rating Xeq(ohm) Req (ohm) Turns ratio

A 250 0.016 0.0035 11000/380
B 200 0.012 0.0024 11000/380
