No it is not normal.
Ideally both the generators share the load equally provided both generator ratings and other parameters are same.
Normal shaft generators do not have droop-control for frequency and voltage. Semiconductor (drive) based variable speed shaft generators may have those today.
A parallel generator is a generator system that operates alongside one or more other generators to provide a combined power output or to share the load demand. This configuration allows for increased reliability, flexibility, and efficiency in power generation, as it can adapt to varying energy needs. In parallel operation, synchronization is essential to ensure that voltage, frequency, and phase are matched across all generators. This setup is commonly used in industrial applications, backup power systems, and renewable energy installations.
To parallel ship alternators or generators, first, ensure that both units are synchronized in terms of voltage, frequency, and phase sequence. Use synchronization equipment to adjust the output of each generator until they match. Once synchronized, connect the generators to a common bus, ensuring that circuit breakers are in the open position before making connections. After confirming that all parameters are aligned, close the circuit breakers to engage the generators in parallel operation.
Generally speaking, the outputs of generators can be coupled by connecting the generators in parallel. In generators that produce DC (direct current), the voltages need to be equalized and the polarities of the connections needs to be observed. Both negatives are connected together and both positives connected together to create one parallel output. In an AC setup, the generators need to be running about the same voltage, and must be connected in phase for the setup to be successful. In practice, the generator that is being brought online is run up, and it frequency is allow to be a little bit faster than the unit that is online. When the phase difference is being observed, and the difference is approaching zero, at a "couple of degrees before" the zero, the generator that is being brought online is then connected to the grid and it "locks in" so that all the generators are running in phase. Connecting DC generators positive to negative is an invitation to disaster, and bringing an AC generator online 180 degrees out of phase with an running generator is the same kind of disaster. Shutting a breaker to parallel generators without insuring polarity concordance (in the case of the DC ones) or phase concordance (in the case of the AC ones) will pit one generator against the other, and severe damage will result.
Parallel generator earthing involves connecting multiple generators to a common grounding system to ensure safety and system stability. Each generator's neutral point is typically grounded, allowing for fault current to safely dissipate into the earth. This setup helps protect equipment and personnel from electrical faults, enhances system reliability, and ensures proper operation of protective devices. It's essential to follow local electrical codes and standards when designing and implementing the earthing system for parallel generators.

When two generators are to be run in parallel, one generator is first started and some load is given. Then second generator is brought in parallel with the running generator (subject few conditions, like voltage, frequency, phase angle). First generator which is running is known as running generator, the second generator which gets connected is known as incoming generator

To parallel two generators with different kilowatt (kW) ratings, first ensure they have compatible voltage and frequency outputs. Next, adjust the governor settings to synchronize their speeds and match the phase rotation. Connect the generators to a common busbar, ensuring the load is shared proportionally to their capacity, typically using load-sharing controllers. Finally, monitor the system for any imbalances or issues during operation.
In a grid system all the alternators run in parallel, locked together in frequency.
Restate your question. Generators don't run in series. Generators always run on parallel synchronizing so your question is wrong.
It acts as synchronous motor by consuming power from the other generator....
isochronous means generator zero drop during parale operationdroop means the generator at 100% load the frequency is50 HZand at no load have more tahn 5oHz eg.. generator set at 4% droop it means at no load the frequency is 104% x 50Hz.

there will be circulating current between the generators sufficiently large that might damage the machines.

generators are machines that convert machanical energy to electrical energy and could be AC or DC. if in a DC generator has it field armature connection in both series and parallel its said to be compound dc generator.
