    Vehicle Generators Grounding & Protection

    A 3-phase AC generator is mounted in a vehicle, say a truck and it is driven by the engine through a power take off. This generator provides power for the vehicle but it also can export power to external loads which can be grounded. The vehicle is metallic and it is required to be grounded as...

    Surface to Air transfer

    I have busbars that carry current and I want to do a rough order of magnitude calculation of the temperature of the busbar without measuring it [or using any thermal software]. Does anyone know how to do this? The following variables are known: 1. Ambient temperature, say Ta 2. Surface area...

    Cap Bank detector

    Looking for an inexpensive, simple, effective circuit to detect when a capacitor in capacitor bank shorts out or blows a fuse and is disconnected? Challenges: Frequency is variable and duty cycle is variable. Ripple voltage is also variable. The capacitors are huge measured in Farads.

    Transformer inductance & resistance

    Is there a rule of thumb as to figuring out what the inductance and resistance should be in a transformer for a given power rating [kVA or MVA], turns ratio, and may be voltages? I heard there is this 5% or 10% rule. I am putting together a model but Manufacturers don't usually give you the...
