AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on identifying the correct terminal designation for a DC alternator wye wound stator assembly. The terminal at point A is questioned whether it should be labeled as "STA," "AUX," or "POS." It is clarified that point A is the stator neutral, which is commonly labeled as "STA." Understanding the wiring diagram is essential for proper assembly and function. Accurate terminal identification is crucial for the effective operation of DC generators.

Hi there,

I have a question on DC generators stator assemblies?? I've been given a standard DC alternator wye wound stator assembly wiring diagram as attached. The question states: terminal at point A is nominated as, answer, (A) "STA", (B) "AUX" or (C) "POS"?

A is the stator neutral - commonly labeled STA

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
