I have the Sirius/XM radio tuned to Ozzy's Boneyard so I should be pretty safe.  I just have to be quick on the preset button when I drive Mrs. Flyer's car since there's a better than average chance that it will be dialed to one of the holiday channels.

That's pretty hideous.  If they were going to go with the anti-General Lee idea, they should have used something other than a Charger.  Although, then they would probably be guilty of ruining a perfectly good Camaro or Mustang.

Things are going well but busy.  How's by you?

As bad as that one is, I think the Paul McCartney song is worse.

I'd go back to farming until the money ran out.

There is a buried assumption there.  In the case of a mechanical differential relay, the CTs on the WYE side of the transformer will be connected in delta to compensate for the 30 degree phase shift across the transformer.  It's still a good practice to connect them that way but it can also be...

QFT.  It's a wonder drug but it's also an evil *******.

They solve the problem on a 1MVA base.  The impedance of the system is 100% (1pu) on a 40 MVA base.  When you convert that to a 1 MVA base you get (1pu*1MVA/40MVA) 0.025.

^21 (7+7+7) if they are balanced at 7 amps/phase.  At 180 Hz, the current vectors are no longer separated by 120 degrees.

When you do the time domain math on a 3 phase system, you find that the triplen harmonics (primarily 180 hz but it occurs at higher multiples of 3) actually add on the neutral rather than cancel one another out. 

Figured it was time for an update on the project. Progress has slowed down some due to work and a couple of other projects but it's getting there.  I posted on the Allis Chalmers forum to see if the "Correct Police" would get their undies in a knot over the DIN rail terminal block.            

The TA in 1976/77 had a sticker price of less than $5k.  I gotta believe they were able to spend more than 20k for cars.  I remember reading once that the magic number was 28 cars that were trashed in the production of the movie.  Like MA said, sometimes the good story outweighs the facts.  

It can be solved from the diagram using simple vectors.  Van = 480V*Sin(60deg) = 415.7 V or Van = sqrt(480^2 - 240^2)= 415.7 V

^The only thing that made it special was that it wasn't easy to get.

Circa 1974: i thought diesel trucks were the coolest thing ever when I was 7.  I still think they're pretty cool.

Found this amusing:

It was a large part of my strategy last year.

I think the big difference is the commercial pilot tried to get the plane from the ramp to the runway under its own power.  That could be a real trick with no ramp or runway lights. 

^Yep.  Security screenings just reduce the chances of bad behavior.  So long as humans are involved, the risk will never be reduced to 0.
