A load of 1600 kW at 0-8 p.f. is shared by two 1000 kVA transformers having equal turn ratios and connected in parallel on their primary and secondary side. The full load resistance drop is 1% and reactive drop is 6% in one of the transformers, the corresponding values in the other transformer being 1.5% and 5%. Calculate the power and power factor at which each transformer is operating.
