A large synchronous generator, of synchronous reactance 1.2 p.u., supplies a load through a link comprising a transformer of 0.1 p.u. reactance and an overhead line of initially 0.5 p.u. reactance; resistance is negligible. Initially, the voltage at the load busbar is 1 p.u. and the load P + jQ is (0.8 + j0.6) p.u. regardless of the voltage. Assuming the internal voltage of the generators is to remain unchanged, determine the value of line reactance at which voltage instability occurs.
