 As load increases, -ve seq. current % increases, and ground current % increases.

(Depending
upon inductivity & unbalancing of load).
 Load sharing % remains same for all generator (different/same rating) during load sharing mode.
In order to have same load sharing % for generators, feedback control system is required
otherwise load will equally divide which is dangerous for different size of generators.
 By decreasing load sharing set point (GOV setting) during load sharing with another generator,
we can de-rate generator power in % but load sharing % remains same.
Genset # 01

Genset # 02
In above example: Both gensets are rated at 2112 KW. Both are operating in speed mode together (as
load sharing mode).

genset # 01 has 100% load sharing (It can operate at its rated power which is 2112 KW)

genset # 02 has set at 51% load sharing (It can operate at its de-rated power which is
0.51x2112 = 1077.12 KW)

Now, during load sharing mode both has same load % which is around 61% means (genset # 01 is
delivering 0.61x 2112 = 1308 KW and genset # 02 is delivering 0.61 x 1077.12 = 657 KW)
