Electrical Engineering

A Stirling engine generator is less powerful than a combustion engine, but more ecologically sustainable. It operates on heat exchange. There are many types of Stirling engines.

An ac motor cannot generate electricity but its shaft can be coupled to that of certain devices like an alternator to in order to generate electricity.

As the name implies, support wires support the filament wire in the bulb, The filament, of course is the wire that glows white hot, giving out light

When you decrease the current in an electromagnet, the magnetic field decreases.

Earth fault protection is protection based on ground, or zero sequence current. If current is coming up from the ground (or going down to the ground), this protection should operate. Residual usually refers to 3*I0, which is the same as the ground current, and is the vector sum of the current in all three phases. This can be measured by connected all three phase CTs in wye, and placing a single phase overcurrent relay in the wye path to ground.

There will be no angular displacement between the two windings and machine will not run.

AC induction motors are not always used in trains as traction engines, however they are a popular choice. AC induction motors are very simple and reliable and aside from bearing wear they have no parts that wear out. This is because the power used by the rotating parts is supplied by the magnetism like in a transformer and so there are no slipping brushes.

Most train systems actually use a DC supply, then a device called an inverter is used to convert the DC to variable frequency to drive the AC motor and control its speed. When this is done the AC induction motor is a very reliable and flexible engine and even allows energy recovery when the train is breaking.

One horsepower electric is defined as 746 watts, so 300 horsepower is 224 KW. You don't say what the power factor is, so lets assume 0.85. Divide 224 KW by 0.85, and you get 263 KVA. You are running three phase, no doubt, so divide by 3 to get 88 KVA per winding. Lets assume 480 three phase delta, so divide by 480 to get 183 amperes per winding. Finally, look at motor efficiency. Lets assume 0.95, giving 192 amperes per winding.

To translate between winding current and phase current in balanced three phase delta, multiply by the square root of 3, giving a phase current of 333 amperes per phase.

That's a lot of current, requiring very large windings and conductors, and it would be a very large motor. I would use a motor with a higher voltage, perhaps 4160. This would bring the current down to around 22 amperes per winding, or 38 amperes per phase, a more reasonable value for such a large motor.

Actually, measuring winding resistance with a multimeter is an iffy situation at best. This is because the multimeter will not tell you if one of the turns is shorted, causing Q to drastically suffer, it will really only tell you if the winding is open, or if it is shorted to something it should not be shorted to, such as the frame.

This is especially true for larger windings, in larger transformers and motors, because their DC resistance is so close to zero that you might not be able to tell if they are shorted or normal.

Using a multimeter is a good start, to make sure that basics are covered, and it might tell you if the winding is dead shorted, but you need to know for sure what the expected DC resistance is, and you need to know that you multimeter is very good in the low Ohms scale.

I am so sorry for your core losses

so the build up of spunk is not to great

Ideally all three phase currents will be equal. There may exist some voltage imbalance from the power source, which will result in unequal currents.

To conduct the flow of electrons/electricity from the battery to the bulb and back.

The secondary voltage of a transformer with a turns ratio of 5 to 1, and primary voltage of 200 is 40. (5 to 1)

An inductive load can cause current to lag voltage in an AC circuit. An increase in resistance will decrease amount of current flow.

To calculate the safe working load of a ship's bollard, you need the working stress and the force applied. These two will help you compute the safe working load.

Load rejection occurs when load is suddenly removed from the generator. The most obvious example of this is the breaker connecting the generator to the power grid opens. This results in a full load rejection.

Load pick up means the generator is supplying power to a given load. When a generator comes on line, it will pick up some load that might have been supplied by another generator.

No, unless it is a three phase motor and you reverse only two of the phases.

Ohm's Law says that the voltage drop is equal to the resistance of the loads times the current.

It is written as V = I x R

Most likely this is referring to the initial inrush that occurs when a transformer is energized. The core of a transformer is designed for a specific magnetic field strength; When a transformer is switched into a circuit, it usually will not be switched at exactly a voltage peak. When the voltage is at its' peak, the induced magnetic field will be at zero. If the switching occurs at a voltage zero, the magnetic field strength will attempt to climb to double the designed value; since the transformer core is not generally oversized to this degree, it will saturate. This causes large inflows of current to the transformer, and shows up as even harmonics (mainly second harmonics) in the current waveform. This settles out within a few seconds (generally) to a small energizing current, usually less than 1% of the transformer's rated current.

Fuel rods are the nuclear fuel in a nuclear power plant. They are used to turn water to steam, which is then used to turn a turbine. They do not "generate energy", since energy cannot be created or destroyed (E=mc^2). They are used to generate electricity, or to convert nuclear energy to electric energy.
