Hi Steam, yes i also hope its more than kandy, would be nice if modelled correctly.
Engines speed is measured in turns per minute. Yes it shows the current draw of the engines, but not its current speed.
As for example, if you hinder a electric motor from running (maybe a broken shaft or something), its power consumption (also in that moment if engines running up) is immense high (counter potential is missing or lower). If it holds long enough, it`s windings will melt which could lead to a engine fire and damage. So ithink those ampere gauges are for monitoring power consumption / draw, so engineer`s could prevent for to much / long power flow on the engines.
