A generator delivers power of 1.0 p.u. to an infinite bus through a purely reactive network. The maximum power that could be delivered by the generator is 2.0 p.u. A three-phase fault occurs at the terminals of the generator which reduces the generator output to zero. The fault is cleared after $${t_c}$$ seconds. The original network is then restored. The maximum swing of the rotor angle is found to be $${\delta _{\max }} = 110$$ electrical degree. Then the rotor angle in electrical degrees at $$t = {t_c}$$ is
A
55
B
70
C
69.14
D
72.4
