Sterling Generators Design Engineer Interview Questions and Answers

Q1. What is the casting solidification time?
Ans. 
Casting solidification time is the duration it takes for molten metal to solidify in a casting process.
• Casting solidification time depends on factors like material type, mold temperature, and casting geometry.

• Higher pouring temperatures generally result in shorter solidification times.

• Thicker sections of the casting will take longer to solidify compared to thinner sections.

• Aluminum alloys typically have shorter solidif

Q1. HOW TO CALCULATE CT CURRENT
Ans. 
CT current can be calculated by dividing the primary current by the turns ratio of the current transformer.
• CT current = Primary current / Turns ratio

• Primary current is the current flowing through the primary conductor

• Turns ratio is the ratio of the number of turns in the primary winding to the number of turns in the secondary winding

Q4. What is TCS AND MASTER TRIP REALY
Ans. 
TCS and Master Trip Relay are protective devices used in electrical systems to prevent damage during faults.
• TCS stands for Time Current Characteristic Relay, which operates based on the relationship between time and current to trip the circuit breaker during faults.

• Master Trip Relay is a relay that receives signals from various protective relays and initiates a trip signal to disconnect the circuit in case of a fault.

• B...read more

Q5. WHAT IS LSC 2A AND LSC 2B
Ans. 
LSC 2A and LSC 2B are standards for lighting in commercial and industrial buildings.
• LSC 2A and LSC 2B are part of the Lighting Power Density (LPD) requirements in building codes.

• LSC 2A is for commercial buildings while LSC 2B is for industrial buildings.

• They specify the maximum allowable power consumption for lighting per unit area in a building.

• For example, LSC 2A may require a maximum LPD of 0.9 watts per square foot

Q2. Flywheel used in a engine
Ans. 
A flywheel is a mechanical device used in engines to store rotational energy and smooth out fluctuations in engine speed.
• Flywheels are typically made of steel or aluminum and are attached to the engine's crankshaft.

• They store energy during the power stroke and release it during the compression stroke to keep the engine running smoothly.

• Flywheels are also used in hybrid vehicles to store energy from regenerative braking...read more

Q3. Used of flywheel, crankcase, AVM pre filter
Ans. 
Flywheel, crankcase, and AVM pre filter are components used in internal combustion engines.
• Flywheel stores rotational energy and helps maintain engine speed during power strokes.

• Crankcase houses the crankshaft and other engine components.

• AVM pre filter is used to remove larger particles from the air before it enters the engine.

• These components are essential for the proper functioning of internal combustion engines.
