Answer:

1704 kW

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for the power consumed by the trains motor we have to employ the formula for power which is

Power= current * voltage

Given that

voltage V= 800 V

current I= 2130 A

Substituting in the formula for power we have

Power= 2130*800= 1704000 watt

Power = 1704 kW

This is the amount of energy consumed, transferred or converted per unit of time

Hence the power consumed by the trains motor is 1704 kW
