A 34 KVA, 480 Volt isolation transformer used on 240 Volts will be re-rated to 17 KVA.
The rated current is the limit and rated current times applied voltage is the KVA.
The losses are mostly current based so the losses will be about the same.
The same losses on 1/2 the KVA will look like a drop...
Isn't the root cause more likely to be;
The driver changed lanes without checking to see if the lane was clear.
Compared to that, not signalling may be expected and a minor annoyance.
Compare:
The driver did signal before driving into the car in the adjacent lane.
The driver did not signal...
There are approved industrial flame sensor boards that sense a flame and give an output.
You do the ignition, manual or automatic, and control the pilot valve and the main valve.
There were many furnace and hot water tank, gas control valves with manual lighting.
I failed when I tried that.
The reason?
The % imp of the transformer had been tested with the transformer at operating temperature.
Testing a cold transformer showed a noticeable error.
This was a small lighting transformer with a fairly low X/R ratio.
You should be able to hold in the contactors with a VFD.
The smaller motors should be able to produce about 200% of rated torque before they stall.
Centrifugal pumps often shed load faster than they lose torque when slowed down.
Positive displacement pumps may stall.
You may have a two second...
I have seen MV cables specified as a minimum length (In that case 100 Feet minimum) to limit the ASCC to the rating of the switchgear.
The extra cable was looped in the cable tray.
I understand that turbo-props may suffer bird ingestion, as well as prop strikes.
I remember a twin turbo going down after a bird strike when I was in Central America.
No serious injuries.
As I recall, it was ingestion.
Why not use an off the shelf furnace or hot water tank gas controller.
Flame sensing is done by a thermo-couple which puts out enough current to hold the valve open.
Don't re-invent the wheel.
Maximum speed or full load speed.
It will probably run very close to 3000RPM at no load.
If the same frame is used on 60 Hz the no load speed will approach 3600 RPM.
I agree with Lionel.
Double up the other two and run jumpers from "A" to "C".
That will reduce the passing current on the center connection.
OR
It is what it is.
If the temps are not too high, just live with it.
