Distribution of Load :

For this we have the following :

• Effect of change in drivine torque
• Effect of change in excitation

It may be shown that

1. Amount of load taken up by an alternator running in parallel with other machines is solely determined by its driving torque, i.e., by the power input to its prime movers.
2. Any change in its excitation merely changes its kVA output but not its kW output. In other works, it merely changes the power factor at which load is delivered
