after parallaing two generators current is shooting up in
both the generators.for ex: load is 400 kw..after paralling
and load sharing current in running gen is approx 900 amps
and incoming is 750 amps which is too high when trying
toshift the load current in incoming gen is coming more
than 1300 amps and both getting tripped and making
blackout..

Answer Posted / pillay

it looks like one of the genset is having a big difference in voltage or
the droop kit if fitted something wrong with it or
check after paralling do you have balanced three phase voltage and current or one of the phase is open circuit or
the gen is running the other as motor
if you know the actual reasons later please let us know also
