Low voltage (LV) switchrooms are common across all industries and one of the more common spatial requirements which need to be designed into a project...

In an earlier note on the site [Photovoltaic (PV) - Electrical Calculations], the theory of solar (PV) cell calculations was introduced.  In particular...

I have been thinking recently that there appears to be less professional integrity around than when I first started my career in electrical engineering...

If your are ever called out to troubleshoot something on your electrical system, one of the first things consider is the supply voltage. You want to ensure...

The IET site has a video of a visit showing of a high tech meeting room developed at Napier University in Edinburgh. It a good demonstration of innovative...

While not as popular as it once was, frame leakage protection does still have some use in some circumstances.  In essence frame leakage is an earth fault...

The windings of many medium and small sized transformers are protected by restricted earth fault (REF) systems. The illustration shows the principal of...

Fault calculations are one of the most common types of calculation carried out during the design and analysis of electrical systems. These calculations...

I was reminded of Occam's Razor while reading a book. It's quite a simple principal of logic which has stood the test of time and is accepted as central...

Following on from my post on railway electrification voltages, I thought an introduction to traction substations would be a good idea. Traction substations...
