In three phase systems, the use of transformers with three windings (or legs) per side is common.  These three windings are often connected in delta or...

Carrying out a protection system discrimination study is critical to ensure the correct functioning of  the electrical system in the event of faults. ...

ABB has produced a range of technical guides that offer concise explanations of the major technologies and technical issues in low voltage AC drives. ...

I've recently come across this question a couple times browsing the internet. Decided to give a quick answer here. A rectifier transformer is a transformer...

Most installations involve some form of lightning protection system which is connected to an earth electrode.  The function of the earth electrode is to...

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

We have had the Wiki with us for a long time now, but at last I have decided to say bye bye – more details on why below.

A fundamental concept behind the operation of alternating current systems is that voltage and current waveforms will be sinusoidal – a Sine Wave. This...

Three phase systems are derived from three separate windings, either connected in delta or star (wye). Each winding can be treated separately, leading...

The following tables provide quick order of magnitude fault levels for a a range of typical low voltage situations.
